does oss plugin service looks inside classes.jar inside .aar file and list those

as per my understanding oss plug in service looks for POM file of .aar and list those information. Does plug in service looks inside .aar for classes.jar and list those information also?

As per https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/android-library#aar-contents .aar may contains classes.jar, /libs/name.jar. So does oss plugin service looks inside this and lists these information also?

The oss-licenses-plugin tries to look at POM files for all transitive dependencies used by the app. If you use library A and library A uses library B (via POM dependency), it should include both. Scanning jar files to determine the license for compiled code is not supported.

An exception is that for many Google SDKs it will read third_party_licenses.(json|txt) files instead.
