Benjamin Bentmann commented on MJAR-103:
----------------------------------------
If ever, a simply boolean option like "addLicence" is not flexibile enough.
Some people may call the file "LICENSE.txt" and others just "LICENSE". You need
at least the possibility to specify the path to the license file:
{code:xml}
<configuration>
<license>LICENSE.txt</license>
</configuration>
{code}
Then, this is just one file. Tomorrow people want to include a NOTICE file as
well or something else. If the JAR plugin should really be extended for this
purpose instead of simply reusing existing resources capabilities, it would be
more flexible to add a parameter that accepts a full-blown fileset, i.e.
directory with some includes/excludes, just like the "filesets" parameter for
the maven-clean-plugin.
