> The BOM packaging provides a way for Maven to differentiate parent POMs from
> BOMs. This is required in order to be able to reduce the consumer POM :
> BOMs' POMs can be reduced easily as all the build time information is
> irrelevant, however parent POMs must preserve all build time information.
> In order to preserve compatibility, the BOM package will be translated into a
> POM packaging at publication time.
