Hi Petr. I saw the PR but I'm not following all the changes happening there. I
honestly just prefer dead simple verbosity... Will take another look in a spare
minute though, unless somebody beats me to it.
> Add BOM module for ease of dependency management in dependent projects
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-10386
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10386
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: general/build
> Affects Versions: 9.0, 8.4, 8.11.1
> Reporter: Petr Portnov
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: BOM, Dependencies
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> h1. Short description
> Add a Bill-of-Materials (BOM) module to Lucene to allow foreign projects to
> use it for dependency management.
> h1. Reasoning
> [A lot of|https://mvnrepository.com/search?q=bom] multi-module projects are
> providing BOMs in order to simplify dependency management. This allows
> dependant projects to only specify the version of the BOM module while
> declaring the dependencies without them (as the will be provided by BOM).
> For example:
> {code:groovy}
> dependencies {
> // Only specify the version of the BOM
> implementation platform('com.fasterxml.jackson:jackson-bom:2.13.1')
> // Don't specify dependency versions as they are provided by the BOM
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-yaml"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-guava"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jdk8"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jsr310"
> implementation
> "com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-parameter-names"
> }{code}
>
> Not only is this approach "popular" but it also has the following pros:
> * there is no need to declare a variable (via Maven properties or Gradle
> ext) to hold the version
> * this is more automation-friendly because tools like Dependabot only have
> to update the single version per dependency group
> h1. Other suggestions
> It may be reasonable to also publish BOMs for old versions so that the
> projects which currently rely on older Lucene versions (such as 8.4) can
> migrate to the BOM approach without migrating to Lucene 9.0.
