Hi,

for a "regular" NB project I can define a license file (to be included in the header of new source files) by setting project.license in NB's project.properties (although there is no GUI for that...)

How can I achieve this with a Maven based project?

I assume this could be done by adding something to nb-configuration.xml, but what?

Thanks
Thomas

Licenses are specified in project's pom.xml in Maven, see
http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Licenses for detail.

the property name is netbeans.hint.license and can be dropped in the pom.xml file (thus dropped in the parent project only and have it inherited)the semantics is similar to the ant property


http://mevenide.codehaus.org/m2-site/mevenide2-netbeans/customizations.html


This should made in into the http://wiki.netbeans.org/MavenBestPractices wiki page long time ago but seems to me missing.. Feel free to update it.


There is one more additional bit of magic there. If your <license><url> element in the pom.xml file contains one of these urls below, the maven support will pick the correct license headers automatically.
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt

So, when I define the project license in my Maven pom, NetBeans will automatically insert that in the header of a new source file?

Great, thanks.

Works like a charm (using profiles.xml)

Is it possible to share the license template within a team, so that everyone who checks out the project will automatically gets the license header inserted when creating new Java files?

Do you mean that you would like to automagicaly load template from
project directory and use it in Netbeans?
That's probably not possible right now but could be pretty cool.

For now you can only point Netbeans to licence existing in
~/.netbeans/6.9/config/Templates/Licenses/
by this property in pom.xml:

<properties>
<netbeans.hint.license>mylicense</netbeans.hint.license>
</properties>

Each developer has to copy license template to
~/.netbeans/6.9/config/Templates/Licenses/license-mylicense.txt
Template file name must by in this format: license-${netbeans.hint.license}.txt
