Maven
Bill of Materials
You can add the following to your pom's dependency management section to specify the versions of the artifacts for this release. Note that this mechanism does not specify maven plugin versions.
Incorrect Kafka Binding Version in BOM
The version of the Kafka Binding is incorrect in nvx-platform-bom. if using the Kafka binding, please explicitly specify the version explicitly. See the Kafka Binding section below for the correct version to use.
Platform Maven Plugin
The Maven BOM mechanism doesn't cover plugin versions. Consequently, the platform provides a platform plugin that incorporates the plugin goals of other plugins in the product suite. This allows specification of the BOM version as a property that can also be used to configure the plugin version.
