Apache Maven Beginner to Guru - Maven Bill of Materials (BOM) Dependency Management

The video tutorial explains the concept of dependency management in Maven projects, highlighting the difference between dependency management and dependencies. It covers how to set up dependency management to standardize versions across multiple projects, manage specific dependencies like MAPSTRUCT and Jaxb, and centralize dependency versions for consistency. The tutorial also discusses handling scope and test dependencies, providing examples with JUnit and Mockito.

What is the primary purpose of dependency management in Maven?

• To include all dependencies in a project

• To standardize versioning across projects

• To remove unused dependencies

• To manage project configurations

How does dependency management differ from regular dependencies in Maven?

• It includes all dependencies automatically

• It allows version inheritance without making them transitive

• It requires manual version updates

• It only applies to test dependencies

Which dependencies were mentioned as examples for central management in the POM file?

• Log4j and SLF4J

• MAPSTRUCT and JAXB

• Spring Boot and Hibernate

• JUnit and Mockito

What is a key feature of dependency management regarding project usage?

• Dependencies cannot be overridden

• All projects must use the same dependencies

• Dependencies are optional for projects

• Dependencies are automatically included

What does dependency scope allow you to do in Maven?

• Automatically update dependencies

• Specify dependencies for specific contexts like testing

• Exclude dependencies from the build

• Include all dependencies in every project

Which utility was mentioned for testing asynchronous operations?

• A wilty

• TestNG

• Mockito

• JUnit

What is the role of dependency management in versioning?

• It enforces the latest version for all projects

• It allows projects to inherit version information

• It prevents version conflicts

• It automatically updates to the newest version
