Re: License collection
You may also want to have a look at the Artifactory license addon, which does exactly that - finds the licenses of all dependencies of a build (including searching in parent poms) with the ability to assign custom license information + generate a report with selective dependency scopes. It is part of Artifactory Pro. http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/License+Control On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 6:01 AM, Rui Vilão wrote: > Hi, > > Thank you all for replying. > > As Stevo mentioned I'm using maven-license-plugin to generate headers as > well.

Re: License collection
Hi, Thank you all for replying. As Stevo mentioned I'm using maven-license-plugin to generate headers as well. But I need to include the licenses of the dependencies I'm using in order to distribute my software. I believe it would be great if developers include the license in the license tag in order for plugins to collect and download them. The behavior would be something like the described here: http://mojo.codehaus.org/license-maven-plugin/ like Wayne mentioned. As far as I can see there's no simple approach to do this, so I believe I will use the report plugin and collect them myself with my bare hands :p Anyway, thank you for your time! -- Rui On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 7:26 PM, Kalle Korhonen wrote: > As Wayne mentioned, most of the modules contain an url to a license > rather than have it checked in.

Re: License collection
As Wayne mentioned, most of the modules contain an url to a license rather than have it checked in. Perhaps you just need the license report instead? The dependencies report of the mpir plugin has had a license section for quite some time, I use it all the time. See e.g. the dependency report of the mpir plugin itself: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/dependencies.html.

Re: License collection
Maybe you'll find these plugins useful: http://code.google.com/p/maven-license-plugin/ http://community.jboss.org/wiki/Howtoaddlicenseinfotoprojects https://wiki.jasig.org/display/LIC/maven-notice-plugin Regards, Stevo.

This is not as "simple" as you may think. How exactly do you plan to do this? Where will you "download" all licenses for your dependencies from? Hint: they are not necessarily stored in Central along with your jars -- this is pretty rare from what I've seen, unless they are packaged along with the jar file (which is also not particularly common). > Does anyone know if there's a plugin that does what I'm trying to > accomplish?
