How do i skip the license check when running the maven install?

I ran a mvn clean install on a big Java project that I work on, but it kept failing due to some files not having the proper license headers. Well, thats not my concern right now, how do I skip that? the actual error i am seeing is,

Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:license-maven-plugin:1.14:add-third-party (default) on project test-project: There are some dependencies with no license, please fill the file /Users/test-project/src/license/THIRD-PARTY.properties

I also tried this maven command, but it didn't work

mvn clean install -Dlicense.skip=true
Solution

  • Try skipping AddThirdParty mojo with -Dlicense.skipAddThirdParty=true.
