Such licenses should be contained within the jar files themselves, and this should be sufficient from a legal standpoint (IANAL). In this manner, it is wholly impossible to access the jar file without receiving the license notice. > (a) Does maven allow this today? (And, please, don't mention any > maven license plugins -- it must be part of the box standard build) There has been some discussion of this a few times on the Users list and on the Dev list, but I'm unaware of any specific functionality that exists which addresses your concerns. As an aside, you must not really understand how Maven works if you say this can't be part of a plugin -- nearly everything in Maven exists as a plugin. You can't even compile a project with what is distributed as Maven version 3.0.2 downloadable from the website. > (b) If not possible, don't you agree that this is the real requirement? Who's requirement?? Yours? If so, feel free to alter the Maven core code and submit a contribution that may or may not be accepted for inclusion in a future Maven release.
