SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Maven dependency drift is eliminated by aligning project pom.xml dependencies with the Quarkus BOM, ensuring consistent versions across modules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • BOM-first dependency management: never specify a version for BOM-managed artifacts; rely on the BOM to resolve versions.
  • Safe upgrade workflow: validates compatibility with the Quarkus platform before proposing upgrades and requires explicit user confirmation before applying changes.
  • Drift detection and remediation: detects explicit version overrides and suggests BOM-aligned changes, including ADR for major upgrades when necessary.

Quick Start

Propose and apply BOM-aligned dependency updates for a Quarkus-based project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I align Maven dependencies with the Quarkus BOM?▼

To align Maven dependencies with the Quarkus BOM, the Skill detects explicit version overrides in your pom.xml, enforces BOM-first rules, and suggests BOM-aligned changes after validating compatibility with the Quarkus platform.

What is BOM-first dependency management in Quarkus?▼

BOM-first dependency management in Quarkus means never specifying a version for BOM-managed artifacts. You rely entirely on the Quarkus BOM to resolve versions, ensuring consistent dependencies across multi-module builds.

How do I upgrade Quarkus without causing dependency drift?▼

To upgrade Quarkus safely without dependency drift, the Skill validates compatibility with the Quarkus platform before proposing upgrades and requires explicit user confirmation before applying changes to your pom.xml.

Can I use this to fix explicit version overrides in a multi-module Maven build?▼

Yes, you can use this to fix explicit version overrides in multi-module Maven builds. The Skill detects drift across Quarkus-flow projects, suggests BOM-aligned changes, and can generate an ADR for major upgrades.

Why does the Quarkus BOM forbid explicit version overrides in pom.xml?▼

The Quarkus BOM forbids explicit version overrides in pom.xml to prevent dependency drift. Enforcing this rule ensures consistent versions across modules and validates compatibility with the Quarkus platform.
