= Camel Spring-Boot Dependency Management

The `spring-boot-dm` module include tools to generate a valid spring-boot BOM (bill of materials)
that can be used in spring-boot applications.

Using the generated BOM (`camel-spring-boot-dependencies`), together with the Spring framework's `spring-boot-dependencies`,
 is the preferred way of configuring a Camel-based application running on Spring-Boot.

The POM of a end user application should include both BOMs, as in the following example:

[source,xml]
.pom.xml
----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
  ...
  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
        <version>${spring-boot-version}</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
        <artifactId>camel-spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>

  <dependencies>
    <!-- Include all needed camel-xxx-starter modules -->
  </dependencies>

  ...

</project>
----

The `camel-spring-boot-dependencies` BOM includes Camel modules
and all transitive dependencies that have no conflicts with the spring-boot BOM.
