A Maven plugin to generate a dependency management POM, sometimes called a BOM or bill of materials POM. The plugin reads the set of dependencies in the current project, and writes a new POM to "target/bom-pom.xml" which contains a dependency management section listing the dependencies of the current project.
The plugin is configured in the "plugins" section of the pom.
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jboss.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>bom-builder-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.Beta3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>build-bom</id>
<goals>
<goal>build-bom</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<bomGroupId>org.jboss.bom</bomGroupId>
<bomArtifactId>my-artifacts-bom</bomArtifactId>
<bomVersion>1.0.0</bomVersion>
<bomName>My Artifacts BOM</bomName>
<bomDescription>My Artifacts BOM</bomDescription>
</configuration>

bomGroupId - The groupId to set in the generated BOM bomArtifactId - The artifactId to set in the generated BOM bomVersion - The version to set in the generated BOM bomName - The name to set in the generated BOM bomDescription - The description to set in the generated BOM exclusions - A list of exclusions to set in the genertated BOM dependencyExclusions - A list of dependencies which should not be included in the genertated BOM
Each exclusion should contain four parameters:
- dependencyGroupId
- dependencyArtifactId
- exclusionGroupId
- exclusionArtifactId
Each dependency exclusion should contain two parameters:
- groupId
- artifactId
<configuration>
<bomGroupId>org.test</bomGroupId>
<bomArtifactId>junit-bom</bomArtifactId>
<bomVersion>1.0</bomVersion>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<dependencyGroupId>junit</dependencyGroupId>
<dependencyArtifactId>junit</dependencyArtifactId>
<exclusionGroupId>org.hamcrest</exclusionGroupId>
<exclusionArtifactId>hamcrest</exclusionArtifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</configuration>
The above config will result in POM output that looks similar to the following:
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.8</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<artifactId>hamcrest</artifactId>
<groupId>org.hamcrest</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<configuration>
<bomGroupId>org.test</bomGroupId>
<bomArtifactId>junit-bom</bomArtifactId>
<bomVersion>1.0</bomVersion>
<dependencyExclusions>
<dependencyExclusion>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
</dependencyExclusion>
</dependencyExclusions>
</configuration>
The above config will result in POM which will not contain junit dependency
You can use * for value of artifactId (or groupId) to exclude all dependencies with given groupId and any artifactId (or with given artifactId and any groupId)
<configuration>
<bomGroupId>org.test</bomGroupId>
<bomArtifactId>junit-bom</bomArtifactId>
<bomVersion>1.0</bomVersion>
<usePropertiesForVersion>true</usePropertiesForVersion>
</configuration>
The above config will result in POM where version of dependencies is specified via properties.
