Hi Alex,

But I think adding not adding potentially very usefull information, just 
because noone uses it will certainly not help the tag being used some day ;-) 
.. I know that Artifactory Pro for example allows to filter artifacs based on 
this information. So I think adding these tags to the pom will not do any harm, 
but provide some information that could be valuable in the future.

What groupId are you talking about? The general gid I was using 
"com.adobe.flex", "com.adobe.flash" and "com.adobe.air"? If Adobe would like to 
have something different here, now is the time for me to adjust this. So please 
simply tell me what to use instead ... I am also glad to change anything else 
Adobe or Apache would like me to change. This is the main reason for taking 
this issue to this mailinglist :-) In the end I would like to have Mavenized 
FDKs all participants can live with.

Chris

Betreff: Re: AW: Flex Maven FDK Generator RC1

Finally got time to read a little about this.  Since there is currently no
official usage of the license tag, I think I would rather try to prompt the
user like we do now in the Ant build.  It looks like this might be
achievable via maven-antrun-plugin.

I looked at the POMs in the link you sent.  That seems pretty
straightforward although Adobe might want a different groupId.  But then
we'd need to add the use of maven-antrun-plugin to these POMs in order to
prompt for the Adobe license right?
