[licence-gather-plugin] Upon failure to find license, indicate the dependency

org.pushing-pixels:radiance-animation:6.0.1 does look like a dependency to me.

Could you please suggest which message would be better in that case?

The failure you have is that radiance-animation does list its license as BSD-3-Clause (I bet it is specified in pom.xml), however, the license text is not included into radiance-animation.jar.
If you shade (or include such radiance-animation.jar into your application) it would violate the terms of BSD-3-Clause because BSD-3-Clause requires including copyright notice which is a part of the license.

Ahhh OK, I read this output wrong, I thought this dependency was correctly resolved. And didn't look at the jar.
Thank you very much for your clarification. Maybe the message might be improved to hint like you just did here.

Since I cannot fix the third party, maybe this can be fixed with something like (pseudo code as I'm on mobile now) :

ignoreMissingLicenseFor.add(SpdxLicense.BSD_3_Clause.asExpression())

Well, you can put the license file under your source control under licenses folder: https://github.com/apache/jmeter/tree/master/src/licenses/licenses/hamcrest

By default, it would check licenses/$artifactId folder, and you can override it via licenseFiles

        overrideLicense("org.hamcrest:$lib:2.2") {
            // https://github.com/hamcrest/JavaHamcrest/issues/264
            // pom.xml lists "New BSD License", however it is BSD_3
            expectedLicense = SpdxLicense.BSD_3_Clause
            licenseFiles = "hamcrest"
        }

OK, great thanks a lot !

I guess the ticket can be closed !

I wonder if GH issues can be moved to discussions ?
