We are developing a Java desktop application based on the Eclipse RCP (E4), and build with Eclipse Tycho, a tool to build Eclipse plugins and products with Maven.
In an Eclipse RCP, the dependencies are not defined in the Maven POM. Instead, they are defined in the OSGi manifests (MANIFEST.MF) (Eclipse plugins are OSGi bundles at their core).
Therefore, there is no Maven-native method to retrieve the licenses for dependencies via, e.g., the Maven Notice Plugin.
Is there a way to achieve automated retrieval of licenses (and perhaps even creation of a BOM/NOTICE) for Eclipse RCP plugins, or OSGi bundles?
