> Key: MSOURCES-106
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSOURCES-106
> Project: Maven Source Plugin (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Luc Maisonobe
> Priority: Major
>
> The source jar, despite not being intended as a full-featured source
> distribution, can be considered a derivative work. Some licenses (like the
> Apache License!) require that derivative work includes copies of important
> legal files, like LICENSE and NOTICE in the case of the
> Apache License, but there may be other cases.
> Currently, there are no provisions in the source plugin to add files that are
> not within
> the source tree. Typical Apache projects put the LICENSE and NOTICE at the
> top level
> of the project, outside of the source tree.
> It would be nice to have an optional parameter "additionnalFiles" in the
> various goals source:jar, source:jar-no-fork, source:test-jar,
> source:tst-jar-no-fork where a list of additional files could be put in the
> jar (putting them at the top level of the jar would probably be OK, but some
> other plugins put such files in the META-INF directory within the jar)
