This plugin greatly reduces the pain associated with consistent packaging concerns across a large set of projects, or an entire organization. Any project can specify the use of a remote resource bundle and have the resources incorporated into their packaging. This means that you can create standard settings in a parent POM somewhere in the project hierarchy and have all projects use packaged common resources in a standard way like licenses, other legal notices and disclaimers, or anything else that may be common.

There are two solutions:

1. File bugs with the projects that produced those artifacts to get them to fix them.
2. Use a supplemental data file. You can create a file that contains the missing metadata. For example:

                 <supplementalDataModels>
                   <supplement>
                     <project>
                       <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
                       <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
                       <name>Sun JAXB Reference Implementation Runtime</name>
                       <organization>
                         <name>Sun Microsystems</name>
                         <url>http://www.sun.com/</url>
                       </organization>
                       <licenses>
                         <license>
                           <name>COMMON DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION LICENSE (CDDL) Version 1.0</name>
                           <url>https://oss.oracle.com/licenses/CDDL</url>
                         </license>
                       </licenses>
                     </project>
                   </supplement>
                 </supplementalDataModels>
              

   That location of that file can then be configured with the supplementalModels configuration element for the process goal. The supplemental information is merged with the information provided from the repository.
