Herve Boutemy updated MPH-183:
------------------------------
Description:
The popular spring-boot makes a lot of use of BOMs. Using BOMs is a good
practice, but right now it is very hard to determine where dependencies and
especially their versions are coming from.
Instead of only showing only the final location (from the BOM POM), it should
also show the path from the current project to that specific pom (where is the
BOM POM imported?).
This way it will be easier to figure out which dependency in which POM needs to
be upgraded: it's the version in the POM declaring the import of the BOM POM,
not the version in the imported BOM POM.
