Maven parent - sharing bom dependencies with child artefacts

Question

I have several Maven artefacts, who are all children of a parent which is used to centralise versions of dependencies in use.

For example, apple and pear are both children of maven-parent. maven-parent defines version 3.12.0 of commons-lang3 and both children declare a dependency of commons-lang3, but do not need to specify the version and are consistent.

This works well, but I'd like to use the Google Cloud libraries in both apple and pear. The documentation says this needs to be done using a bom dependencyManagement entry.

I've got this working on a per-project basis, but I can't get this centralise - both apple and pear would like different parts of Google Cloud but both should be using the same version of the libraries to do so.

This is especially important as pear depends on apple and could end up overriding it's dependency versions if not careful.

What I'd like to do is move the declaration of the version of Google's libraries-bom version of 24.0.0 into maven-parent.
