hibernate/hibernate-test-case-templates#568 made me realize there is no POM that you can just import into your demo/app and that would automatically manage the version of Reactive and its dependencies (e.g. vertx).

Maybe that would make sense?

FWIW, in Hibernate ORM and Search (perhaps Validator too?) there is a "platform BOM" ("fat BOM" in Maven lingo) that does just that.

Hibernate Search (perhaps Validator too?) also has a "BOM" ("skinny BOM" in Maven lingo) that only manages artifacts of its own group ID, excluding dependencies, but I'm not sure that's useful in Reactive since there is, in fact, only one published artifact.

Anyone working on this would want to ask @marko-bekhta , who did it for Search already (both BOMs).
