CycloneDX Maven Plugin

The CycloneDX Maven plugin generates CycloneDX Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) containing the aggregate of all direct and transitive dependencies of a project. CycloneDX is a lightweight software bill of materials (SBOM) standard designed for use in application security contexts and supply chain component analysis.

Maven Usage

<!-- uses default configuration -->
<plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.cyclonedx</groupId>
        <artifactId>cyclonedx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <phase>package</phase>
                <goals>
                    <goal>makeAggregateBom</goal>
                </goals>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>
</plugins>

            <outputName>bom</outputName>
            <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory><!-- usually target, if not redefined in pom.xml -->
            <verbose>false</verbose><!-- = ${cyclonedx.verbose} -->
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
</plugins>

Excluding Projects

With makeAggregateBom goal, it is possible to exclude certain Maven reactor projects (aka modules) from getting included in the aggregate BOM:

  • Pass -DexcludeTestProject to exclude any Maven module with artifactId containing the word "test"
  • Pass -DexcludeArtifactId=comma separated id to exclude based on artifactId
  • Pass -DexcludeGroupId=comma separated id to exclude based on groupId

Goals

The CycloneDX Maven plugin contains the following three goals:

  • makeBom: creates a BOM for each Maven module with its dependencies,
  • makeAggregateBom: creates an aggregate BOM at build root (with dependencies from the whole multi-modules build), and eventually a BOM for each module,
  • makePackageBom: creates a BOM for each Maven module with war or ear packaging.

By default, the BOM(s) will be attached as an additional artifacts with cyclonedx classifier and xml or json extension during a Maven install or deploy:

  • ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-cyclonedx.xml
  • ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-cyclonedx.json

This may be switched off by setting cyclonedx.skipAttach to true.

Every goal can optionally be skipped completely by setting cyclonedx.skip to true.
