plugin showing licenses for dependent projects, but not from the project itself

[KafkaProServerless]

Hello,

If not anything else, just wanted to say thanks for this project. It is easy to use, simple, and helpful.

Just wanted to reach out with an issue observed.

I have a project, called myproject.

the project myproject is pulling some dependencies via maven. The dependencies have licenses. the project myproject is also has a license on its own.

I was hoping to see

the licenses of the dependent projects. the license of myproject, the project itself.

However, I am only seeing the dependent licenses not the license of project myproject itself.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.5</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>myproject</name>
    <description>Demo project for Spring Boot</description>
    <properties>
        <java.version>21</java.version>
    </properties>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>

As you can see in this pom, I am pulling some external dependencies.

I also have in the root of myproject this LICENSE file:

Running the maven command, I would see: (just copy pasting a small portion)

Lists of 63 third-party dependencies.

     (Apache License, Version 2.0) Spring AOP (org.springframework:spring-aop:6.1.6 - https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework)

but not the license of my own project.

Could you please help me on this issue?

Thank you in advanced

Hello, I am sorry but I really don't understand what your issue is, and also, I am really not sure you are using this plugin at all. Could you please rewrite the description with your full pom (effective pom) and be more precise about your setup ? Thanks.
