No, the legal files are not included in the javadoc jar when invoking the goal separately. I think the reason is that you're invoking various goals + the install phase, so basically you are piping 4 separate executions instead of a single one with the same context. Your example had $ mvn clean \ javadoc:jar \ source:jar \ install \ org.codehaus.mojo:ianal-maven-plugin:verify-legal-files So when the javadoc:jar and source:jar goals have been executed the process-resource-bundles and remote-resources-custom-notice were not run. So there is no addition of LICENSE and NOTICE file. I suggest you use the -Papache-release goal for creating 'proper' sources and javadoc jars. Robert P.S. Please try to not top-post, it makes following the conversation harder :-)
