Richard Fussenegger commented on KAFKA-9060:
--------------------------------------------
In https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7955 another user was already
asking for a BOM. This issue is more detailed, but both are asking for the same.
> Publish BOMs for Kafka
> ----------------------

> Key: KAFKA-9060

> Hey there! Love the project, but I would love it if there was a BOM file that
> is published for each version. If you're not familiar with a BOM, it stands
> for "Bill of Materials" it helps your Gradle (in my case, but it's originally
> a Maven thing) file look like this (using JDBI's implementation as an
> example):
> {code}
> dependencies {
> implementation(platform("org.jdbi:jdbi3-bom:3.10.1"))
> implementation("org.jdbi:jdbi3-core")
> implementation("org.jdbi:jdbi3-kotlin")
> implementation("org.jdbi:jdbi3-kotlin-sqlobject")
> implementation("org.jdbi:jdbi3-jackson2")
> }
> {code}
> Instead of this:
> {code}
> val jdbiVersion by extra { "2.6.1" }
>
> dependencies {
> implementation("org.jdbi:jdbi3-core:$jdbiVersion")
> implementation("org.jdbi:jdbi3-kotlin:$jdbiVersion")
> implementation("org.jdbi:jdbi3-kotlin-sqlobject:$jdbiVersion")
> implementation("org.jdbi:jdbi3-jackson2:$jdbiVersion")
> }
> {code}
> Notice how you just leave the versions off when you use a BOM. This can help
> reduce the number of dependency compatibility surprises one can encounter,
> especially if a transitive dependency brings in a newer version of one of the
> components (it'll be reduced to the BOM's version). Note also that you still
> have to list dependencies you want with a BOM, just not the versions.
> Here's a deeper dive into how a BOM works:
> https://howtodoinjava.com/maven/maven-bom-bill-of-materials-dependency/
> The Maven help site also has a section on it (Ctrl+F for "BOM"):
> https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html
> I think BOMs would be a great for the users of the Kafka project because
> there are lots of Kafka libraries (streams, connect-api, connect-json, etc)
> that require the same version as other Kafka dependencies to work correctly.
> BOMs were designed for exactly this use case.
