[slf4j-dev] [JIRA] (SLF4J-437) Create a BOM POM

[QOS.CH (JIRA)]

Joachim Durchholz commented on SLF4J-437:
-----------------------------------------

What purpose does a bill-of-materials pom serve?

What problem does it solve?

The Description says "saves version repetition", but that's easily handled using a Maven property.
So I'm wondering what part of the picture I'm missing.

> Please create a {{slf4j-bom}} POM which can be imported via dependency management. This makes consumer POM less verbose, no need to repeat version. The Spring Framework does this for example.
