[all] Could we reference the Apache licence in commons-parent POM?

Hi everyone,

Plugins such as org.codehaus.mojo:license-maven-plugin will search POM
files for licence declarations, allowing for automatic download and
inclusion in generated artifacts. Has any thought been given to
including a licence statement in the commons-parent POM?

<project>
  ...
  <licenses>
    <license>
      <name>The Apache Software License, Version 2.0</name>
      <url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt</url>
      <distribution>repo</distribution>
    </license>
  </licenses>
  ...
</project>

Some commons projects do list the licence in their own project POM,
but the support for this is patchy.

Ah, brilliant, thank you. I thought it was a strange oversight!

Hi Duncan

This is already available in the Apache parent POM, which commons-parent
inherits from. See
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/apache/11/apache-11.pom
