Description mienamoo 2012-06-20 08:42:33 UTC

I don't see any way to specify a license file for a Maven-based module from the IDE. For Ant-based projects, this option is available under the Build > Packaging tab of the module project's properties. But no equivalent tab exists for Maven-based projects. Would it be possible to add this feature to the GUI?

no ui currently, but possible in multiple ways, see

The info from the blog post is for the license header that is added to generated source code, right? The license that I am looking for is the one that will be displayed when the module is installed.

I see, sorry for misunderstanding

Comment 4 mienamoo 2012-06-20 09:05:19 UTC

No worries. I should have been more specific in the original report. :)

typically it's not a requirement to have equal UI for ant and maven based projects.. patches welcome though.

The biggest challenge with editing maven projects in customizer is to handle values inherited from parents gratefully.
