Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MCHECKSTYLE-297:
-------------------------------------------------
The [ASF
parent|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/pom/tags/apache-16/pom.xml?view=markup]
contains the correct license tag from which the checkstyle plugin etc. are
inheriting. That's the idea of a general parent to avoid repeating several
things which is the same for a large number of project. So there is no need to
add the license entry into the maven-checkstyle-plugin pom file.
> pom.xml does not specify licenses stanza
