Description

Hi,

I'd like to generate a bom from a single maven module that packages several war and ear artifacts, which also are not part of the respective aggregator. As it turns out, makeBom doesn't follow those dependencies. Is this by design and if yes, what is the recommended way to deal with this situation.

Thank you!

Research direction

Start at the makeBom entry point and reproduce the report with a Maven module that packages WAR and EAR artifacts outside the aggregator. Trace whether their dependencies are traversed transitively; done means the generated BOM includes those dependencies or the issue documents the supported behavior and recommended handling.
