A Software Bill of Materials (software BOM) is a list of components in a piece of software. Software vendors often create products by assembling open source and commercial software components. The software BOM describes the components in a product. It is analogous to a list of ingredients on food packaging. (Wikipedia)

To use a BOM in your project,  include include the following code snippet as the very first dependency in the dependency management section of the parent poms and adjust the version number accordingly (the number is poms and adjust the version number accordingly. For the version number, use the latest version released for this branch.

Please note that this number may not be in sync with the bundle version )of the latest Magnolia release:

<dependencyManagement>
 <dependencies>
  <dependency>
   <groupId>info.magnolia.boms</groupId>
   <artifactId>magnolia-external-dependencies</artifactId>
   <version>5.7</version>
   <type>pom</type>
   <scope>import</scope>
  </dependency>
 </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

If you use magnolia-main parent ( info.magnolia:magnolia-project ) to manage the third-party dependencies as well, we recommend that you use our third-party BOM for this in the future. You can apply the change at any time you want.
