'Manage third-party optional dependencies in BOM
I develop some library and for end-user convenience I publish a BOM with my modules as dependencies. Now the question arised for transitive optional dependencies. For example I have support for both Paho MQTT v3 & v5. Therefore those are optional since we don't know what direct will choose end-user.
The concern is that users have to scan our build.gradle file to find the proper (compatible) version of that third-party library to add into their own project.
So, the question is: how is that good practice to add those transitive optional dependencies into my BOM for transparent (and compatible) versions management?
Or should I really consider to publish extra BOM with only those optional dependencies?
Again: the goal is to simplify end-user experience with my library and its dependencies.
