[jira] (MRELEASE-685) prompt for license information while
release:perform
[ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-685?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=302590#comment-302590 ]
Martin Todorov commented on MRELEASE-685:
-----------------------------------------
The thing is... if people care enough to actually add the enforcer plugin and explicitly add a rule (which currently doesn't exist) for checking if the project has a <license/>, then they would most-likely already have defined it, as they would be diligent enough.
Something I've been thinking of for a while is that the release plugin needs to have the option of defining <rules> just like the enforcer plugin. Then it would be possible to write your own custom checks and attach them to the release:prepare goal for example.

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: prepare

> Currently not many projects make use of the <license> tags available in pom-4.0, but this information might be used for many things.
> I imagine something like an automated 'license verification check' e.g. with the maven-dependency-plugin
> $> mvn dependency:licenses
> which lists all the dependencies with their licenses.
> Apache RAT could also make use of this information IF the <license> coverage would be good enough!
> To increase the amount of pom files with a valid <license> section, we could prompt for it in the release:prepare step and create the respective <license> section for the user.
