It is necessary to add dependencies to Maven BOM or only versions?

What is the right way to create maven BOM file? Should it include only versions or dependencies are also required. I mean two variants of BOM:

Var #1:

<properties>
    <javafx.version>23</javafx.version>
</properties>
<!-- no dependencyManagement section -->

Var #2:

<properties>
    <javafx.version>23</javafx.version>
</properties>
<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
            <artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
            <version>${javafx.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Variant 1 will not work because properties are not imported from BOMs, only dependencyManagement.

So you need to use Variant 2.
