    Description

      Projects/modules like Drools or OptaPlanner transitively require BOMs which are not actually needed at all (e.g. uberfire-bom or guvnor-bom). This brings a lot of issues for RPMs and is also weird.

      We also need to make sure we an easily override dependencies coming from ip-bom. The only sensible way seem to directly inherit from ip-bom (instead of importing it). That of course results in a need to have a different parent for user BOMs, as we don't want to pollute them with all the 3rd party deps.

      Proposal to fix this (discussed with gdesmet@redhat.com as the best option):

      kie-parent (created from kie-parent-metadata)

      • has ip-bom as it’s parent
      • inherits the whole depMgmt from ip-bom. Contains all required dependency overrides.
      • kie-user-bom-parent (new POM)
      • has ip-parent as parent
      • contains no depMgmt
      • needs to copy some metadata from kie-parent (URL, SCM info, links, etc)

      user-boms (kie-bom, drools-bom, optaplanner-bom, etc)

      • have kie-user-bom-parent as their parent
      • contain only depMgmt for the specific groupIds (e.g. org.optaplanner for optaplanner-bom)
      • from user's POV nothing changes here

      kie-platform-bom

      • has kie-parent as it's parent
      • import all the other BOMs (uberfire-bom, errai-internal-bom, etc)
      • this BOM is useful in downstream projects, like tests

      Specific projects then import only what they need (obviously not 100 % true as the kie-third-party-bom would define many more versions than we need, but that is not easily fixable atm):

      Drools parent POM (top-level pom in drools repo)

      • has kie-parent as it’s parent
      • imports drools-bom (kie-bom is imported transitively)

      jBPM Console NG parent POM

      • has kie-parent as it’s parent
      • drools-bom? + jbpm-bom + uf-bom + errai-bom+ dashuilder-bom + guvnor-bom
