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

>From the Maven site, I see that a BOM pom is for multi-part projects with a fixed list of libraries to use.

This isn't applicable for SLF4J, because there is no bill of materials involved - every project needs a different subset of the available backend adapters, so SLF4J would have to make a separate BOM for each combination of required and non-required adapters, that's a combinatorial explosion.

Having to specify the version explicitly isn't so bad anyway. You don't reconfigure SLF4J dependencies so often.

> 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.
