Added a parameter for setting the license key.

[ingokegel]

In install4j 6.1, it will be possible to set the license key when invoking the command line compiler. The argument "--license" is recognized by earlier versions of install4j as well, where the compiler exits after updating the licensing information.

There is already a separate goal just for this. Configuration of which is fairly simple. Unsure the wrinkle about it calling system.exit() < 6.1 is worth it.

Ie:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.sonatype.install4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>install4j-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>install-license</goal>
        <goal>compile</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <projectFile>${project.basedir}/src/main/installer/whatever.install4j</projectFile>
        <licenseKey>whatever</licenseKey>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

vs:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.sonatype.install4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>install4j-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>compile</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <projectFile>${project.basedir}/src/main/installer/whatever.install4j</projectFile>
        <licenseKey>whatever</licenseKey>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

Actually @ingokegel should ask, does this new behavior in 6.1 change now install4jc --license works w/o any other arguments? Or in 6.1 does it now only work when trying to compile installer?

[ingokegel]

OK, I missed that this was already available. You can still specify only the --license argument and the command line compiler will exit after updating the licensing information.
