Dennis Lundberg commented on COMMONSSITE-21:
--------------------------------------------
Sorry I was looking at "jakarta" in another place in the file.
The content of the generated NOTICE file is completely dependent on the
metadata that is in the repository. This is a double-edged sword. Sometimes
it's good and sometimes it's bad. I'll try to explain what happens:
Validator depends on commons-logging-1.0.4 which has this in its pom:
<organization>
<name>The Apache Software Foundation</name>
<url>http://jakarta.apache.org</url>
</organization>
while validator itself inherits this from commons-parent, which inherits from
the apache-parent:
<organization>
<name>The Apache Software Foundation</name>
<url>http://www.apache.org/</url>
</organization>
The current implementation of the plugin sees these two as different
organizations, because it compares both the organization's name and the url.
Looking at it from the point of this discussion that seems like a bad thing to
do, so I'll open an issue for the plugin to see what others think.
