• platform - The BOM project that defines the shared dependencies.
• project-a - A project that uses the platform BOM.
• project-b - A project that uses the platform BOM.

Building the Example

./gradlew clean build --scan

If successful, you will see that your build published a build scan:

This build's build scan can be found at: https://gradle.com/s/o4xloi6jkmnck

Gradle Build Scan

Use the Gradle Build Scan created by your build to check out the dependency resolution.

1. Navigate to the build scan URL in a web browser.

2. Select the Dependencies tab in the right-hand menu.

3. Notice in the image below that the platform dependencies have been included as constraints and the slf4j-api dependency's selection reason is Constraint.
