Tool to determine licenses for pom.xml dependencies

Question

I'm looking for a tool that given a maven pom.xml file tells me all the licenses that are used by the dependencies (and recursively their dependencies). Does such a thing exist?

Ideally it would tell me:

• For each dependency all licenses that apply
• A summary list of a different licenses referenced.

Answer 1

Did you have a look at the maven-dependency-plugin?

In the report it does not only list all the (transitive) dependencies, but also groups them by licenses, as you can see in its own report.
