license-maven-plugin should take into account case sensitivity with downloaded 
license file names
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MOJO-1623
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-1623
             Project: Mojo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: license
         Environment: Version 1.0-alpha-1-jboss-1 of 
org.codehaus.mojo:license-maven-plugin 
            Reporter: Jaikiran


JBoss Application Server uses the license-maven-plugin to download the 
dependency project licenses. The file names of the downloaded files are case 
sensitive - i.e. the plugin can end up creating a file named lgpl.txt *and* 
LGPL.txt in the same "licensesOutputDirectory". Effectively, on operating 
systems where the case isn't taken into account, this can lead to duplicate 
file issues as reported in this issue https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8794

A quick fix/configuration would be to allow a configuration parameter in the 
plugin, like "ignoreLicenseFileNameCase" which defaults to false (for backward 
compatibility). The 
org.codehaus.mojo.license.DownloadLicensesMojo#getLicenseFileName(License 
license) can then be changed to something like:

 private String getLicenseFileName( License license )
        throws MalformedURLException
    {
        ....
        if (ignoreLicenseFileNameCase)
        {
           return licenseFileName.toLowerCase();
        }  
        return licenseFileName;
    }
