Maven BOM’s (Bill of Materials)

Starting from version 6.0.0.CR2, we ‘ll release BOM (Bill of Materials) files:

  • org.drools:drools-bom
  • org.jbpm:jbpm-bom
  • org.optaplanner:optaplanner-bom

A BOM file makes it easier to use Drools, jBPM or OptaPlanner in your maven project, because you need to specify the <version> only once:


  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.drools</groupId>
        <artifactId>drools-bom</artifactId>
        <type>pom</type>
        <version>6.0.0.CR2</version>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>
      ...
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.kie</groupId>
      <artifactId>kie-api</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.drools</groupId>
      <artifactId>drools-compiler</artifactId>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>
    ...
  <dependencies>
