Ups ... Just saw that these seems to be a way ... the pom allows defining license information: http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Licenses I think I'm going to extend the generator to automatically add such a license headers to the poms. So as soon as there is such a plugin, this could be used. Eventually someone at Stackoverflow might even give me a pointer to existing functionality that I didn't find yet.
Unfortunatley I think adding these headers might be a pretty tricky task having a look at how the licenses are currently being defined. In the root of the FDKs the license htmls contain some information about which elements have which license, some the libs themselves sometimes have license files accompaning them. Some have License files inside the jars root ... some inside the jars META-INF directory :-( ... guess it would be the best way to manually create a mapping file telling the generator which version of which file has which license in order to generate this pretty valuable additional information. I guess inside the framework things are a lot simpler ... assuming textLayout and osmf being the only resources not having the Adobe Flex SDK License Agreement (For Adobe FDKs) or Apache v2 (For Apache FDKs).

Would be a great feature though ... think I might relay this question to the Maven list ;-) Chris [ C h r i s t o f e r D u t z ] C-Ware IT-Service Inhaber Dipl. Inf.

Our Ant script stops and requires that you hit a key to accept a license. Can Maven do the same? Otherwise it seems like you could end up downloading some dependency with a license you didn't agree with. -Ale On 9/26/12 2:59 PM, "Carlos Rovira" <carlos.rov...@codeoscopic.com> wrote: > That would be awesome! :) > > El miércoles, 26 de septiembre de 2012, christofer.d...@c-ware.de escribió: > > >> Well in general it would be enough if Adobe simply published the >> airglobal, playerglobal and osmf swcs along with their language >> resources to a public repo ... only these 3 artifacts would be enough >> to make us all really really happy and Apache could start officially >> deploying Flex FDKs using maven without any legal issues. >> >> -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
