I think the merge syntax was right.
I found the problem; The configuration was set under 'execution'. When I set
it earlier, it works. And the <useMissingFile> tag is not enough; it needs a
'true' value. The configuration below works for me.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>license-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<useMissingFile>true</useMissingFile>
<licenseMerges>
<licenseMerge>The Apache
Software License, Version 2.0|Apache
2</licenseMerge>
<licenseMerge>The Apache
Software License, Version 2.0|Apache
License</licenseMerge>
<licenseMerge>The Apache
Software License, Version 2.0|Apache
License, Version
2.0</licenseMerge>
</licenseMerges>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>add-third-party</id>
<goals>
<goal>add-third-party</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
