LICENSE/NOTICE modification/generation based on included dependencies
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-330
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-330
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2
Reporter: Stefano Bagnara
I create jar, javadoc-jar and sources-jar using maven jar plugin.
The maven remote resources plugin together with the apache-jar-resource-bundle
allow me to have a good LICENSE/NOTICE file for that jars.
The problem is that I also have a src\assemble\src.xml and
src\assemble\bin.xml files to create a sources + compile/test/runtime
dependencies (all of them) zip file and a binary + runtime dependencies zip
file.
Assembly plugin make a grea job in allowing me using this for the binary
dependencies:
dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>/lib/</outputDirectory>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
For the src distribution I instead copy files manually not using the
dependencies (because I need them in the same structure I already have), and
this is another issue, but let's fix one issue at a time.
currently I put a LICENSE/NOTICE files in the zips by adding this:
<fileSet>
<directory>target/maven-shared-archive-resources/META-INF/</directory>
<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>NOTICE</include>
<include>LICENSE</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
But they are now wrong for a binary distribution including the runtime
dependencies.
It would be cool to have the assembly plugin automatically manage this (I don't
even know how) by altering (or interacting with the remote resources plugin) to
add snippets related to the included dependencies.
