[m1] license report
I have question on the license report:
We have many projects that all use the same license and we would like to
reference the same license from a URL so that we do not have to check in
our license every time we start a new project - ie becomes a nightmare
if our license changes, then we would have to go through all of our
projects and change it. I also tried adding the following to the
project.xml file:
<licenses>
<license>
<name>Our License</name>
<url>http://maven-projects/docs/licenses/MCS-LICENSE.txt</url>
<distribution>repo</distribution>
<comments>License specifc for the MCS
team</comments>
</license>
</licenses>
But the license report did not pick anything up. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim.

The license plugin uses the maven.license.licenseFile property for
generating the license. Actually, I don't know what the license in the
pom is used for.
