As I created the initial spring-ws-bom I wonder what is managing the dependencies? I noticed that there is a dependency management block in the parent. Would it help if the bom didn't have the spring-ws-parent as a parent? Or would we need to move out the dependencies to a seperate pom?

The key thing is that the effective pom for spring-ws-bom only manages Spring WS dependencies. Ignoring the needs of the Spring WS build for a moment, that could either be achieved by removing the parent or by moving the parent's dependency management elsewhere. The latter's probably the better option as I suspect that removing the parent would probably remove too much and may result in the pom of the spring-ws-bom module not meeting Maven Central's requirements.
