How does maven handle artifact's license files?
Does maven have support for tracking license files my dependent artifacts
may have and doing something with these files, such as installing with my
product/application? If so, how?
(Ideally I want to deploy license docs with each artifact that needs one
(ideally public artifacts should already have this) then I want to include
all these in a specific location in my war.)

I use Annotations to instantiate my Spring context in my tests:
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:*applicationContext-test.xml*"
})
public class UserWebServiceTest extends AbstractSpringTest {
Then when I do not have to modify my Maven config in order to switch from
test, to production version of my context.

Re: beyond Properies and Resource Filtering

This should help:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/include-exclude.html
And over here:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/copy-resources-mojo.html
(Note the Examples links on the left side. They can provide you with
specific pom.xml examples).
I find that the reference at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/ is the
best way to find information. I'm not too impress with any of the
books I've seen. Most talk about how to setup a pom.xml for a specific
type of application, but not about exactly how everything works, or
where you can find more information.
You can define command line properties to define exactly which
directory you want:
$ mvn -Dconfig-type=foo package
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/${config-type}-resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
If you use the above examples, you'll have to move those two
directories to where you really want those the "mySpringBean.xml" file
to be located when copied. For example, if they go into the META-INF
directory, you'll need to have the two files in:
src/main/foo-resources/META-INF/mySpringBean.xml
and
src/main/bar-resources/META-INF/mySpringBean.xml

Posted by Robert Glover <ro...@yahoo.com>.
I have read chapter 13 of "Maven: The Definitive Guide" and did not find my question answered there.
Here is what I need to do. I have two subdirectories as follows:
src/main/resources/foo
src/main/resources/bar
I have the same file in each of those two directories:
src/main/resources/foo/mySpringBean.xml
src/main/recourse/bar/mySpringBean.xml
What I need to do is specify on the command line (or in a Profile or in settings.xml) which of those two directories should have it's contents copied to target/classes. The other directory should not have its contents copied into target/classes.
Thank you in advance! (hope hope).

Re: How does maven handle artifact's license files?
Posted by David Hoffer <dh...@gmail.com>.
Hum, I just got around to trying this plugin. I got exactly *zero *licenses
in the created output licenses folder. Are you sure this plugin scans
transitive dependencies?
I see a list of WARNING it generates for those it cannot find valid licenses
but I have many more dependencies than this list...so either those it didn't
have a problem with or those it didn't even bother to try with. I'm
assuming the later as I have no licenses in the output folder.
Any ideas?

Re: How does maven handle artifact's license files?
Posted by Stevo Slavić <ss...@gmail.com>.
I don't think so, but I believe I've explained pretty much everything about
it. I found about it from
this<https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBBUILD-477>task in JBoss
JIRA. From there I followed a link to plugin source code. The plugin
mojo class<https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/maven/plugins/jboss/trunk/maven-jboss-license-plugin/src/main/java/org/jboss/maven/plugins/license/DownloadLicensesMojo.java>is
really simple one, every Java developer should be able to read it
easily.
Plugin only has a single download-liceses goal, by default bound to
generate-resources phase, and I've mentioned both parameters
(outputDirectory, and quiet) in the earlier example. In the mojo class
source you can see how downloaded license file gets it's name (see
getLicenseFileName method).

Stevo.

Thats good to know Stevo. Thanks.
Is there a site which describes this plugin and its goals?

Re: How does maven handle artifact's license files?
Posted by Stevo Slavić <ss...@gmail.com>.
It scans through your project's dependencies, looks for licenses
definitions, and tries to download them (based on given license URL) into a
destination you designate via outputDirectory parameter (defaults to
${project.build.directory}/licenses). It can do the license
scanning/downloading quietly (defaults to false), not to report warnings if
license can not be found or downloaded. To automatically embed downloaded
licenses into your jar or war you can use build helper plugin or assembly
plugin - wish jar/war plugins were enough.
As already stated, problem is that many library vendors don't include the
license info in artefact pom's, but also many include it in their own
special way, so you will e.g. get multiple differently named Apache 2
licenses, invalid URL's, or BSD license template library vendor failed to
customize, ...

Stevo.

Re: How does maven handle artifact's license files?
Posted by David Hoffer <dh...@gmail.com>.
The report does show a list of known licenses and which artifact is
associated with each. However most just say Unknown (likely because like
you say the pom is missing the information).
However this doesn't help the end product, that is, it doesn't do what the
license says is needed...rather its just an informational report.
For instance, for the apache license, doesn't a copy of the license have to
come with the product/application? I thought I heard, some time ago, that
maven was working on automating this just like they do for runtime
artifacts.

RE: How does maven handle artifact's license files?
Posted by Todd Thiessen <th...@nortel.com>.
The dependencies report show all transitive licenses that your project
uses. I believe this report is part of the default maven site
generation.
Of course if artifacts don't have any license information in their pom,
no information will be shown in the report.
