[jira] Commented: (MJAR-42) Add LICENCE and NOTICE files to the jar

["Brett Porter (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-42?page=comments#action_67235 ] 

Brett Porter commented on MJAR-42:
----------------------------------

- default values should be given with default-value instead of an initialising value (the basedir won't be correctly aligned otherwise)
- this technique won't work especially well with multiple modules projects
- I'm not sure we want the Apache-specific NOTICE file in here. Perhaps it should be a part of the license specification.

Isn't a better workaround just to use the <resources> mechanism for this?

> Patch attached that adds project LICENSE and NOTICE files into the output jar. By default it will add LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files from the project's basedir (if they are present) into the META-INF directory of the jar.
