[FIXED] How can we build and refer bom in same pom

Issue

I have one jenkins job which build parent pom. Inside parent pom I have a module BOM also. The bom itself is being referred in same parent POM like below.

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.org.fgn.abs</groupId>
            <artifactId>abs-bom</artifactId>
            <version>${project.version}</version>
            <scope>import</scope>
            <type>pom</type>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies> 
</dependencyManagement>

But it is unable to find the correct version of bom. It is obvious that it won't find the bom because it is not yet build. I am just looking any way to do the same without having separate job for building the bom.

Thanks In advance.

Solution

Yes, good question. One option is definitely that, you could have the BOM project build first using a separate job in Jenkins and that way when you build your main Parent project it finds that dependency. I do have some projects configured that way and it should work fine. The other option I think is you could have your BOM project as a module in another Parent project say B, and then include this Parent project in your main Parent project as a module. Honestly I haven't tried the second approach, but you could maybe this a shot.
