Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-2207:
------------------------------------------

Good point, still the plugin should probably revert to the current behaviour if the Bundle-License header is not set in the bundle

> License plugin should support Bundle-License manifest header

> Currently the License plugin looks for files inside the jar file, that eventually contain licensing information.
> OSGi defined another standard way to declare license requirements through a manifest header.
> The syntax for this header is as follows:
> Bundle-License ::= '<<EXTERNAL>>' | 
> ( license ( ',' license ) * )
> license        ::= name ( ';' license-attr ) *
> license-attr   ::= description | link
> description    ::= 'description' '=' string
> link           ::= 'link' '=' <url>
