Spring-boot: Dependency management for ojdbc8-observability refers to a BOM that does not exist on Maven Central

[Sachpat]

The following dependency in Spring Boot 2.4.0

     <dependency>
        <groupId>com.oracle.database.jdbc</groupId>
        <artifactId>ojdbc-bom</artifactId>
        <version>19.8.0.0</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>

has the transitive dependency to the pom com.oracle.database.observability:ojdbc-bom:pom:19.8.0.0 via com.oracle.database.observability:ojdbc8-observability:19.8.0.0 which is not available in maven central repository yet.

And hence the build for the application using this dependency via Spring Boot 2.4.0 fails with the below error:

Failed to collect dependencies at com.oracle.database.observability:ojdbc8-observability:pom:19.8.0.0: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.oracle.database.observability:ojdbc8-observability:pom:19.8.0.0: Could not find artifact com.oracle.database.observability:ojdbc-bom:pom:19.8.0.0

Thanks for the report but, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this bom that isn't under our control. The com.oracle.database.observability:ojdbc8-observability:19.8.0.0 bom has a dependency management import for com.oracle.database.observability:ojdbc-bom:19.8.0.0. I wonder if that's a typo? If it is, there is an import cycle between those BOMS which is not ideal either

@Kuassim can you please help us raise that issue at the appropriate place?

That's true. Something definitely is wrong with this dependency management import.

Sorry for the inconvenience; we are looking into this, as we speak.
Will report back ASAP.

We found and fixed the problem however our filer (the person) is on vacation. Hopefully the change will be reflected early next week.

Thanks for the quick fix @Kuassim . Sure, will wait for the change to be reflected.

Thanks a lot for the quick turnaround @Kuassim. Do I understand the missing BOM is going to be published and nothing on our end is required?

[Kuassim]

That's right @snicoll.

Thanks for the follow-up. I am going to close this now.
