Handle OSS within CI-process

To automate OSS handling in the regular build-process (which is not recommended to start with) you may declare the following executions and goals in your maven-configuration:

<plugin>
  ...

  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>aggregate-add-third-party</id>
      <phase>generate-resources</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>aggregate-add-third-party</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>

    <execution>
      <id>aggregate-download-licenses</id>
      <phase>generate-resources</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>aggregate-download-licenses</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

Note that the build may fail in case the OSS information was not complete. Check the build-output to understand and resolve the issue - like e.g. add missing license information in the "missing file".
