# Automated Pull Requests in Maven

Any `pom.xml` that exists in the repository will be searched. Any pom.xml that is in a `src/test` directory is ignored.

**Note**

- Automated pull requests work only when dependency versions are specified directly (as a value or property).
- Imported BOMs (for example, `<spring-boot-dependencies>` with `<type>pom</type>` and ` <scope>import</scope>`) are not supported.

- Component defined inside a `<dependencies>` element with an inline `<version>` element.

```
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
      <version>2.9.9.3</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
```

- Component defined inside a `<dependencyManagement>` element with an inline `<version>` element.

```
<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
        <version>2.9.9.3</version>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
```

- Component defined inside either an `<dependencies>` element, or a `<dependencyManagement>` element, with the version defined via a variable in a `<properties>` section.

```
<properties>
    <jackson.version>2.9.9.3</jackson.version>
</properties>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
      <version>${jackson.version}</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
```
