This project explores common infrastructure and best practices for open source
Java projects for the Google Cloud Platform.

Google Cloud Platform Java Dependency Dashboard

Google Cloud Platform Java Dependency Dashboard
(runs daily; work in progress) shows multiple checks on the consistency among
Google Cloud Java libraries. For manually generating the dashboard, see
its README.

Java Library Best Practices

The Java Library Best Practices are a set of rules
that we believe will minimize problems for consumers of interconnected Java
libraries.

Linkage Checker Enforcer Rule

Linkage Checker Enforcer Rule is a Maven enforcer rule that
detects linkage errors in
the current project.

Google Libraries BOM

Google Libraries BOM is a Bill-of-Materials (BOM) that
provides consistent versions of Google Cloud Java libraries that work together
without linkage errors.
To understand how BOMs help library users avoid dependency conflicts, read
Declaring Dependencies on Google Java Libraries
