Hi everybody, I'm currently working on the project info report plugin to extend its functionality. As I don't want to repeat other developer's work, I would like to ask if the feature I'd like to develop is already existant in a fork or planned for future releases. Furthermore, I'd like to hear feedback on my ideas. I hope, I addressed it to the correct mailing list.
I would like to have a feature in my maven project reports, which shows if any of my dependencies violate company guidelines regarding open source licenses. E.g. if my company forbids dependencies licensed under GNU GPL 2, the report should be able to display any violation of this rule. I imagine a configuration in the dependencies mojo [1] of the project info report, where you can set an URL of license patterns which are allowed. All licenses in this whitelist are accepted, all dependencies with other licenses would be highlighted (or otherwise flagged) in the dependencies report. So my question to you is: Is this a stupid idea? Is this already implemented in any component or would this be useful to implement for this plugin? I'm very open to any feedback on this, as I would like you to profit from my work. Thanks for your input in advance!
