OpenEPCIS BOM

This is the Maven parent for every OpenEPCIS project. It centralizes dependency versions, the Java version, and build plugins, so all modules build consistently.

Why

Without a shared parent, each module/repository sets its own versions for Quarkus, Jackson, and plugins, and they gradually drift apart. Using a single parent keeps them aligned: a module declares a dependency without specifying a version, and the version comes from this parent.

Use it

Inherit it as the parent:

<parent>
    <groupId>io.openepcis</groupId>
    <artifactId>openepcis-bom</artifactId>
    <version>0.9.3</version>
</parent>

Or import only the managed versions, if the project already has a parent:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.openepcis</groupId>
            <artifactId>openepcis-bom</artifactId>
            <version>${parent.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

OpenEPCIS repositories themselves follow the rolling 999-SNAPSHOT, which always carries the newest versions.

What it manages

Java	25. Modules should not set source, target or release on their own
Quarkus	3.33.3 through quarkus-bom, plus the AWS services and CXF BOMs
Jackson	2.22.1 through jackson-bom
Other libraries	JSON-LD, JSON schema validation, Elasticsearch client, Swagger, commons
Build plugins	compiler, surefire, failsafe, JaCoCo, Jandex, Checkstyle, license, javadoc, sources, GPG

Common commands

These work in any project that inherits this parent.

mvn git-code-format:format-code   # format the sources
mvn checkstyle:checkstyle         # run the style check
mvn license:format                # add the license header to new files
