Hello, < What was your point by saying : "...I wonder if it's possible to provide such a functionality with the Maven License Plug-in." > I've needed the exclusion functionality for the project I work for, so I've checkout the sources from your SVN and modified them to accommodate my needs ( the modifications are in the patch I've sent some days ago). However, having some modified sources on my repository will pose problems of synchronization with the evolutions/corrections that are done on the genuine License plugin. So I was just wondering if adding some exclusion filters could get on the list of evolutions that will be done on Maven License plugin (you already answered on that question with yes and that's great). This way, the moment this functionality will be available, I will give up the plugin I've modified and use the official one.

Hello all,

first of all, this is a very nice plug-in. Keep up the good work.

I did an evaluation of the plug-in for using it at work, during continuous integration process. The purpose was to automatically generate a list of all third party libraries licenses used in our final distribution. The list is supposed to be verified before release to see if all the licenses are in order.

I was able to do all of these by using the add-third-party and aggregate-add-third-party goals. However, the generated files contain all the licenses for all the libraries used in distribution, including our own libraries. I wonder if it's possible to add a filter to exclude libraries from the licenses files. I'd like to keep in the files only the genuine third party libraries and filter our products.

What I've done so far was to check out the project from SVN and modify it to filter all the libraries respecting some regular expression (testing if groupId or artifactId contains some expression given as configuration parameter). But I dislike this procedure as I will have to manually maintain the modified project. I wonder if it's possible to provide such a functionality with the Maven License Plug-in. The idea to be able to filter (include, exclude) some dependencies is a good idea, we will implement it soon for sure.

Concerning the way of doing it, I can't see a better solution than to modify your final application pom.

What was your point by saying : "...I wonder if it's possible to provide such a functionality with the Maven License Plug-in."

Could you clarifing a little more your mind.

...

Thank you,

You're welcome.

Petrica
