Dependency Management POM Example

This examples shows how pomgen can optionally generate a dependencyManagement "companion" pom. This pom file is generate in addition to the regular pom.xml, when the attribute generate_dependency_management_pom is to to True in the BUILD.pom file.

The dependency management pom contains a <dependencyManagement> section with the transitive closure of all dependencies of the artifact it was generated for. It uses the artifact_id specified in the BUILD.pom file, suffixed with .depmanagement.

Try this example

From the root of the repository:

bazel build examples/dependency-management/...

bazel run @pomgen//maven -- -a pomgen,install -l examples/dependency-management

Now look under your $HOME/.m2/repository:

The usual jar packaging pom is at: com/pomgen/depman/example/juicer/3.0.0-SNAPSHOT/juicer-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.pom

The dependency management pom (pom packaging) is at: com/pomgen/depman/example/juicer.depmanagement/3.0.0-SNAPSHOT/juicer.depmanagement-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.pom

The <dependencyManagement> in the dependency management pom can be used (imported) the following way:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.pomgen.depman.example</groupId>
            <artifactId>juicer.depmanagement</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
<dependencyManagement>
