Do we have a policy on importing third party boms (in
boms/common-ee/pom.xml, for example)? The OpenTelemetry project provides a
BOM to help synchronize artifact versions. I'm currently declaring
dependency with explicit versions (controlled by a Maven property, of
course) for each dependency. Things get tricky for otel as some artifacts
are $VERSION and some are ${VERSION}-alpha. Using a BOM would make that
transparent (as well as making the eventual transition from -alpha to ga
transparent).
I don't see any BOMs being imported, so I thought I'd ask before I tried to
be first. :)
