currently the only way to provide a local bom file is to include it into an embedded repository, for example:

        maven {
            url file("${rootProject.projectDir}/repo")
        } 

and then referencing that in the normal way:

targetPlatformBoms ...

It would be much nicer if it was possible to do:

 targetPlatformBoms files('local-bom/pom.xml')
