Maven's dependency management includes the concept of a bill-of-materials (bom). A bom is a special kind of pom that is used to control the versions of a project's dependencies and provides a central place to define and update those versions.

A number of Spring projects including Spring Framework, Spring Cloud, Spring Boot, and the Spring IO Platform provide boms to make things easier for Maven users. Unfortunately, things haven't been quite so easy if you're using Gradle.

Dependency management in Gradle

Gradle's dependency management uses a ResolutionStrategy to take control of a project's dependency versions. This offers a lot of power and flexibility but doesn't provide a way to reuse the dependency management that's already been declared in a Maven bom. As a result, you have to do so manually. Depending on the bom, this can easily equate to tens of additional lines in your build.gradle…
