License collection
Hi all,
I'm trying to automate licensing collection for my product. What I want is
simple: collect (i.e. download) all licenses of my dependencies and store
them in a folder.
Does anyone know if there's a plugin that does what I'm trying to
accomplish? I've heard about license-maven-plugin (
http://mojo.codehaus.org/license-maven-plugin/ ) but I couldn't even
download it.
Thanks in advance,
Rui

You may also want to have a look at the Artifactory license addon, which
does exactly that - finds the licenses of all dependencies of a build
(including searching in parent poms) with the ability to assign
custom license information + generate a report with selective dependency
scopes. It is part of Artifactory Pro.

Hi,
Thank you all for replying.
As Stevo mentioned I'm using maven-license-plugin to generate headers as
well. But I need to include the licenses of the dependencies I'm using in
order to distribute my software. I believe it would be great if developers
include the license in the license tag in order for plugins to collect and
download them. The behavior would be something like the described here:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/license-maven-plugin/
like Wayne mentioned. As far as I can see there's no simple approach to do
this, so I believe I will use the report plugin and collect them myself with
my bare hands :p
Anyway, thank you for your time!

As Wayne mentioned, most of the modules contain an url to a license
rather than have it checked in. Perhaps you just need the license
report instead? The dependencies report of the mpir plugin has had a
license section for quite some time, I use it all the time. See e.g.
the dependency report of the mpir plugin itself:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/dependencies.html.

Maybe you'll find these plugins useful:

This is not as "simple" as you may think.
How exactly do you plan to do this? Where will you "download" all
licenses for your dependencies from? Hint: they are not necessarily
stored in Central along with your jars -- this is pretty rare from
what I've seen, unless they are packaged along with the jar file
(which is also not particularly common).

This plugin is in the Sandbox, so you can't simply download and use
it. Follow the directions on the Mojo site:
