[ https://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-437?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.i... ] Joachim Durchholz commented on SLF4J-437: -----------------------------------------
From the Maven site, I see that a BOM pom is for multi-part projects with a fixed list of libraries to use.
This isn't applicable for SLF4J, because there is no bill of materials involved - every project needs a different subset of the available backend adapters, so SLF4J would have to make a separate BOM for each combination of required and non-required adapters, that's a combinatorial explosion. Having to specify the version explicitly isn't so bad anyway. You don't reconfigure SLF4J dependencies so often.
Create a BOM POM ----------------
Key: SLF4J-437 URL: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-437 Project: SLF4J Issue Type: Task Affects Versions: 1.8.0-beta2 Reporter: Michael Osipov Assignee: SLF4J developers list
Please create a {{slf4j-bom}} POM which can be imported via dependency management. This makes consumer POM less verbose, no need to repeat version. The Spring Framework does this for example.
