Description

Currently the License plugin looks for files inside the jar file, that eventually contain licensing information.

OSGi defined another standard way to declare license requirements through a manifest header.

The syntax for this header is as follows:

Bundle-License ::= '<<EXTERNAL>>' |
( license ( ',' license ) * )
license ::= name ( ';' license-attr ) *
license-attr ::= description | link
description ::= 'description' '=' string
link ::= 'link' '=' <url>
