maven-license-checker

Maven plugin that checks whether your dependencies' licenses can work with the project's license.

Goal

For v 1.0.0 the aim is the following:

• parse project to retrieve the license(s) defined
• parse dependencies to retrieve all licenses of the direct licenses. It is not the intention to check transitive dependencies.
• throw an error if license incompatibilities are found (unless failOnError is set to false of course)
• create a report out of the check

Installation instructions

• git clone repository
• mvn clean install
• update the pom file of your project with the following plugin

<plugin>
    <groupId>net.mymilkedeek</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-license-checker</artifactId>
    <version>${licensechecker.version}</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <phase>compile</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>check</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Then during your maven build, license checker will do its magic!
