Robert Scholte commented on MENFORCER-157: ------------------------------------------ [~sebbASF], I know you're trying to improve the quality of the distributions. However, the quality of this issue is comparable with the average first issue done by a new Maven user: right now it reads as an opinion/unfunded complaint. (new users shouldn't be offended, since the more issues they file, the better they understand what we need, e.g. reproducability ) It would help if you either: - refer to a page which states what is and is not allowed in the NOTICE file. - provide a patch. Since you have a good idea how the NOTICE should look like and you seem to have checked out the sources it should be quite easy to make such a patch. This prevents the start of maybe an unnecessary discussion, which would be a waste of time if the patch shows the improvement. > NOTICE file bad indentation & references software which is not actually > included > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MENFORCER-157 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MENFORCER-157 > Project: Maven 2.x Enforcer Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: SebbASF > > The NOTICE file says: > {noformat} > Apache Maven Enforcer Plugin > Copyright 1999-2013 The Apache Software Foundation > This product includes software developed at > The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/). > > Portions of this software utilize the Plexus Container, API, and > Components.
