             Summary: BOM pollutes dependencyManagement
                 Key: SHRINKRES-292
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKRES-292
             Project: ShrinkWrap Resolvers
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.1.3
            Reporter: Rich DiCroce


SHRINKRES-256 added a dependency on org.apache.maven:maven to the Shrinkwrap Resolvers BOM. This was a poor idea. It pollutes the dependencyManagement of any projects relying on the SWR BOM with artifacts that have nothing to do with SWR. This includes a lot of commonly used libraries (Guava, commons-lang3, Mockito, etc).

If a project relying on the SWR BOM also has a transitive dependency on any of those libraries, the version specified by org.apache.maven:maven will be used, which seems like a bad thing to me. And if a project relying on the SWR BOM also has a direct dependency on any of those libraries, Eclipse complains about overriding managed versions.

The SWR BOM
