draiver-build-dependency_thirdparty-maven

Building a license report.

There are several plugins available to create reports on which licenses are used by which third-party dependencies. These reports will list each dependency, version, license, and provide a link to the license.

The project-info-report plugin will generate a site directory containing a web based human readable report.

The license plugin will provide an XML file containing the information.

Running these reports requires a modified version of the draiver-build-dependency_thirdparty-maven pom.xml.

1. Copy the existing pom.xml to another name, such as depreport_pom.xml.
2. Delete the <dependencyManagement> tags, leaving the <dependencies> section.
3. Delete the entire <build> section.
4. To produce the human readable report, run mvn project-info-reports:dependencies -f depreport_pom.xml
5. To produce the XML report, run mvn license:download-licenses -f depreport_pom.xml
