As I'm starting to use several Apache Commons components in several of my Java projects, I'd like to add a single dependency to automatically handle the versions of these components in my Maven's pom.xml, à la Spring (e.g. spring-boot-dependencies, spring-data-releasetrain, spring-cloud-dependencies) & all their starters.
Unfortunately I'm unable to find such a thing, how do I do?
They have something called the Apache Commons Parent pom but it seems like it's just a pom.xml dedicated to the build process of every components of the suite.
Apache commons are a collection of libraries that have very little in common (no pun intended). It makes no sense to import them en-masse.
Import just what you actually need.
