Description

I have a project set up like this:

  • my-mod-a depends on 3rd-party-mod-without-license
  • my-mod-b depends on my-mod-a

When my-mod-a is built the “missing file” i added gets attached; i can find the it in the maven repository.

But when i build my-mod-b it asks me once more to crate a “missing file” for the transtive dependency of my-mod-a which are already fixed and have an artefact deployed for in tge repo.

Can you explain in more details what i have to do for this installed missing file to be used? Can you also confirm that the functionality works.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the caching mechanism for 'missing files' in the license maven plugin. Check if the resolution of transitive dependencies considers already resolved missing files from parent modules. Look at the codebase to see how missing files are stored and retrieved during builds.
