Feature Request: feature for adding/changing licenses by hand

[shiraji]

I used a library in NDK that is not listed in build.gradle. And now, I want to add the license to yaml file but received following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I guess this is because this plugin cannot find the artifactId in build.gradle file.

Now, I want to add license that is not listed in build.gradle. It's impossible to cover all possible ways to import library, right? So, it would be really helpful that we can add licenses by hand and generate HTML based on the information.

As a contributor, I agree with this issue 👍

An APK sometimes includes non-Java libraries including NDK libraries, JavaScript libraries, and so on.

Got it. I started adding force flag. It seems working well with generating HTML file, but not JSON file. When I run ./gradlew generateLicenseJson I got following error:

% ./gradlew generateLicenseJson                                                                                                                                      [18-01-23 18:39:12]

How can I test generating json?
