Plugin Documentation

Goals available for this plugin:

Goal Description
license:compliance This compliance goal checks all dependencies in the build and active profile sections for compliance with acceptable licenses. For each dependency, this goal checks if any of the dependency licenses matches any of the acceptable licenses. A match is successful if either the dependency license URL matches the acceptable license URL regular expression, or the dependency license name matches the acceptable license name regular expression. The lack of a license in the dependency will cause this goal to fail.
