Chapter 2. Dependency management

The core Quarkus dependencies are managed via com.redhat.quarkus.quarkus:quarkus-bom. This BOM does not manage the additional Quarkus extensions (for example Camel Quarkus or Kubernetes), so there are other BOMs available for you to use in your projects that contain import quarkus-bom.

As long as you do not plan to use any dependencies beyond those from Quarkus and Camel Quarkus, you should use org.apache.camel.quarkus:camel-quarkus-bom which manages all supported Camel artifacts and imports com.redhat.quarkus.quarkus:quarkus-bom.

When combining camel-quarkus-bom with any other BOM, think carefully in which order you import them, because the order of imports defines the precedence.

For example, if my-foo-bom is imported before camel-quarkus-bom then the artifact versions defined in my-foo-bom will take the precedence. This may or may not be what you intend, depending on whether or not there are any overlapping actifacts in your my-foo-bom and camel-quarkus-bom. Additionally, you may also need to consider if those artifact versions in my-foo-bom with a higher precedence are compatible with the rest of the artifacts managed in camel-quarkus-bom.
