Girders Platform BOM (Bill Of Materials)

Girders provides a Bill Of Materials (BOM) for use in the Maven POM of a project. The BOM defines the version numbers for all of the dependencies of Girders, as well as a lot of other commonly used dependencies. It makes sure that the version numbers defined in the BOM are consistent and compatible. This removes a lot of work related to dependency management for project teams.

You can add the Girders Platform BOM to your project by adding the following snippet to your Maven POM:

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.netcetera.girders</groupId>
      <artifactId>girders-platform-bom</artifactId>
      <version>${girders.version}</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

You can now add dependencies that are supported by the Girders Platform BOM to your project without specifying a version number:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.netcetera.girders</groupId>
  <artifactId>girders-starter-i18n</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jdbc</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
  <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.flywaydb</groupId>
  <artifactId>flyway-core</artifactId>
</dependency>

The Girders Platform BOM is based on the Spring Boot BOM and the Spring Cloud BOM.
