Hi all!
I have problems understanding the purpose of an attribute of
license:update-project-license goal.
About the generateBundle attribute the docs say:
"A flag to copy the main license file in a bundled place. This is usefull
for final application to have a none confusing location to seek for the
application license. If Sets to true, will copy the license file to the
bundleLicensePath to outputDirectory. *Note:* This option is not available
for pom module types."
I understand, that by default this will copy the full license file to
META-INF/${project.artifactId}-LICENSE.txt
which would otherwise be copied to the root of the jar.
What I don't understand is the explanation of the cases in which this is
benificial.
Is the "bundle" in generateBundle the "bundle" from OSGi, so this attribute
something connected with generating OSGi bundles?
I would appreciate if someone could provide an explaining paraphrasis of "
This is usefull for final application to have a none confusing location to
seek for the application license.".
