'download licenses' goals do not exclude transitive dependencies

[attilapuskas]

When using any kind of exclusion configuration, like artifactFiltersUrl, excludedGroups or excludedArtifacts, then the excludeTransitiveDependencies does not work.

I think the reason is that the following two lines:

license-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/codehaus/mojo/license/download/LicensedArtifactResolver.java

Line 219 in 4736bf6

result.remove( entry.getKey() );

license-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/codehaus/mojo/license/download/LicensedArtifactResolver.java

Line 142 in 4736bf6

final String id = artifact.getGroupId() + ":" + artifact.getArtifactId() + ":" + artifact.getVersion();

do not use MojoHelper.getArtifactId.

This LicensedArtifactResolver.java is pretty much a copy paste variant of the DependenciesTool.java, where the MojoHelper is added as expected.

license-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/codehaus/mojo/license/api/DependenciesTool.java

Line 239 in 4736bf6

result.remove( MojoHelper.getArtifactId( entry.getValue() ) );

Therefore all goals affected by LicensedArtifactResolver (download-licenses, aggregate-download-licenses & licenses-xml-insert-versions) are broken regarding the excludeTransitiveDependencies setting, while the ones using DependenciesTool are ok.

This seems not to be fixed any time soon...
Is there any sort of workaround?
