Bill of Materials Maven Plugin

This goal scans the current project and creates a bill of materials (bom) pom containing the current project and all of its (sub-) modules with the current version as dependency management.

activate it in the following way:

<project>
    ...
    <build>
        ...
        <plugins>
            ...
            <plugin>
                <groupId>de.eitco.cicd</groupId>
                <artifactId>bom-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>5.0.0</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>create</goal>

    </build>
</project>

Check for the latest version here. This enables the following goals:

It can be customized with the following parameters:

additionalBoms

This parameter specifies a list of additional pom files whose dependency management will be included in the generated bom.

Consider using the flatten-maven-plugin to generate a pom containing the projects dependency management and specifying the generated file as additionalBom. The integration tests provide an example for that.

typesByPackaging

This parameter holds a map of artifact types indexed by their packaging. The plugin needs this map to deduce the types of artifacts given their packaging. The default types (pom, jar, war) are always known. Use this parameter if you have some custom packaging to use in your bom.
