Transitive dependencies of WAR artifacts file not picked up by add-third-party goal

[stefanroeck]

Steps:

1. Add a dependency to a war artifact that has transitive depdendencies, e.g.

<?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 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <artifactId>simplewar</artifactId>
    <packaging>war</packaging>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
            <version>2.4</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

1. Run add-third-party goal

Expected

• License for commons-lang detected

Actual

• No license found

If the packaging of simplewar is changed from war to jar, the license is picked up.

The same applies for artifacts with packaging type ear.

This also applies to type bundle which is just a jar with extra (OSGi) metadata in META-INF/.
