prompt for license information while release:perform
----------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-685
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-685
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: prepare
Reporter: Mark Struberg
Currently not many projects make use of the <license> tags available in
pom-4.0, but this information might be used for many things.
I imagine something like an automated 'license verification check' e.g. with
the maven-dependency-plugin
$> mvn dependency:licenses
which lists all the dependencies with their licenses.
Apache RAT could also make use of this information IF the <license> coverage
would be good enough!
To increase the amount of pom files with a valid <license> section, we could
prompt for it in the release:prepare step and create the respective <license>
section for the user.
