Description

The remote-resources plugin allows creating and sharing "supplemental models", i.e pom snippets that allow overriding (read "fixing") those from the repository. We use this to fix licensing info of some libraries that are on central with wrong or inaccurate poms.
See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-remote-resources-plugin/supplemental-models.html

It would be great if the dependencies reports (and others maybe ?) could make use of the same information, such that those generated reports are consistent with the resources generated by remote-resources plugin.
