Agree, centipede has the same problem. Easy to download a jar without
knowing it's liscense.
Sending a license file with a jar is something that the new Jakarta
Ruper project should handle.

And why not: DISPLAY the damn license and require the user to type
"I do understand the terms of this licence" and click somewhere
( that may also cover the requirements of some of the packages ).

Or even better, if it's a GPL license Ruper should require the user
to type "I understand that all the software I ship that is bundled with
this jar will have to be GPLed". ( and if he types something wrong, he'll have to type the whole thing again :-).Adding dependencies should not
be easy.

We certainly need a way to indicate to the user that that a jar is
a build-time dependency, a runtime required dependency or an optional
runtime dependency.

Agree,,  but one step at a time.
Lets get the project in the incubator first.
