Missing JARs for 1.4.x in official Maven Repos

[markieww]

No JAR files of the releases 1.4.* are available anymore. Only *.pom files.

Please check.

Yes that's exactly how it's supposed to be. Every version since 1.3 Moneta has been modular and you need to use it as a "BOM", see https://github.com/JavaMoney/javamoney-examples/blob/master/console/javamoney-console-simple/pom.xml or the README in this repo.

Sorry, but this can not be used, how a BOM is supposed to be used. When importing the BOM

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.javamoney</groupId>
      <artifactId>moneta</artifactId>
      <version>1.4.2</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencyManagement>

you should be able to import the artifacts without using the version number:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.javamoney</groupId>
  <artifactId>moneta-core</artifactId>
</dependency>

but this is not possible, as the groupId is not the same.

If you try to use:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.javamoney.moneta</groupId>
  <artifactId>moneta-core</artifactId>
</dependency>

the version is missing from the dependency.

[keilw]

As this is the Moneta Parent POM the version number in dependency management is totally fine.

[ToppScorer]

Not sure what you mean by this. How is you "BOM" supposed to be used? Can you give an example where only the moneta-core module would be included in a project?

I think the problem is, that your "BOM" already defines dependencies and not only versions, what BOMs should only do.

[keilw]

Well somewhere you must define them, otherwise you won't find any, but defining a "BOM" is up to you, the examples work the way they are.
The top level POM of examples uses dependencyManagement (in a BOM-like style) while individual modules use it.
However, the version of Moneta is usually declared in the individual modules only and not from the parent because they may differ, especially the "backport" (which will be phased out soon) had a separate dependency and other modules may also use different versions if they like.

If you feel the need or would like to contribute to a true "BOM", see this very old ticket: JavaMoney/javamoney-parent#4
