Comments on: @license and @copyright in Java 7 ? http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2007/11/04/license-and-copyright-in-java-7/ Productivity in software development Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:47:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Geoffrey Wiseman http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2007/11/04/license-and-copyright-in-java-7/#comment-37447 Geoffrey Wiseman Tue, 06 Nov 2007 00:00:18 +0000 http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2007/11/04/license-and-copyright-in-java-7/#comment-37447 I was thinking of an @License annotation the other day; what I'd really love is the ability to report on the @License of a project and its dependencies, and, ideally, establish some rules about it, and put that into a Maven plugin or something equally re-usable. For instance, if you're building a commercial application, you might want to exclude GPL dependencies, or generate a report that can be reviewed regularly to ensure that you meet some license compliance goals.

But it should be a good idea to talk to the leads. Thanks. Thought about that, but it’s neither about defect prevention (JSR 305) nor about new places for annotations (JSR 308).
