Executing the scan

You can execute the license scan by executing mvn clean package licensescan:audit on the command line.

A report is generated under ${projectDir}/target/license-scan-resulsts/index.html which can be opened with any browser.

Usage/Examples

Try adding the commented out projects and see the licensescan:audit command failing. Also have a look on the report.
