Selenium Dependency Management

Selenium BOM (Bill of Materials)

This project intends to improve Selenium dependency management by specifying POM managing dependency versions for all Selenium artifacts.

WARNING: HtmlUnitDriver was removed from the Selenium main distribution package in the version 2.53.0. For this reason, the HtmlUnitDriver dependency is neither included in the Selenium BOM since the version 2.53.0.
For more information see:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/master/java/CHANGELOG
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/htmlunit-driver

Usage

Add following snippet to your project's POM:

<properties>
    <version.selenium>2.53.1</version.selenium>
</properties>

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        ...
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-bom</artifactId>
            <version>${version.selenium}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
        ...
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Place the selenium-bom import declaration above any other import which manages Selenium dependencies in order to get dependencies managed correctly.

For more information about dependency management, see Introduction to Dependency Management.
