Feedback Request: Process Implementation with XML & JSON Data and Scripting Languages

Use camunda bom for maven Dependency Management

Sometimes you need to include multiple camunda BPM maven dependencies in your project. The apache maven best practice is to use a bom (“Bill of Materials“) which ensures that you get the matching versions for multiple dependencies. For camunda bpm we prepared the camunda-bom First, import the camunda-bom in the dependencyManagement section of your maven pom: <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.camunda.bpm</groupId> <artifactId>camunda-bom</artifactId> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> <version>7.1.0-Final</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> Now you can reference multiple camunda dependencies without adding their version information: <dependencies> <dependency> …
