09/02/2022, 10:27 AMWhat do you mean by "identify"?
A BOM is just a POM with a
<dependencyManagement>v

09/02/2022, 12:30 PMI mean as like a bom artifact wont have jar file or similar in the repository, instead just a pom. So should just check for the availability of the pom without a jar to see if its a bom?
eg: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/kyori/adventure-bom/4.11.0/

09/02/2022, 12:32 PMYes, BOMs typically also do not have a jar.
But a POM without a jar is not necessarily a BOM.
Vampire
09/02/2022, 12:32 PMBOMs often are also called
...-bomVampire
09/02/2022, 12:32 PMAnd a BOM could actually also be within another POM and be both
Vampire
09/02/2022, 12:33 PMSo there could even be a jar beside the POM that is also used as BOM
Vampire
09/02/2022, 12:33 PMThere is no reliable way to "identify" a BOM or non-BOM

09/02/2022, 12:41 PMI'm not sure I understood that 😅
Vaishnav Anil
09/02/2022, 12:41 PMDoes the pom file specify the file to be used?

09/02/2022, 12:42 PMFor more context, I'm working on a runtime dependency manager (https://github.com/slimjar/slimjar). I initially just ignored any jar files it couldnt find considering it as bom, but that does not feel like the right way to go about this.
