👍
Also generate this in the release workflow, calculate checksum and attach it with the checksum to the GitHub release (see shell script).

Would it be possible to run the plugin with mvn install? Then you don't need a separate build step.

We really need to find a workaround for this ;)

Duplicated in parent pom. Is this really necessary as the root is only an aggregator pom without code?

| ## Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) | ||
|
|
||
| To enhance transparency and security, SPDX SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) are included with the GitHub releases starting from version 4.6.0. These files provide a comprehensive list of all components and dependencies used in the project. |
| We moved some GitHub action permissions from workflow-level to job-level. | ||
| We moved some GitHub action permissions from workflow-level to job-level and fixed a number of Sonar findings that we accumulated with Sonar introducing new rules. | ||
|
|

| And, we now create an SPDX SBOM. You can find the SBOM of the product JAR attached to all new GitHub releases. |

This is our first shot at creating an SBOM. OFT's SBOM is not very thrilling, since OFT has only a single runtime dependency (the JRE) and that is not included in the distribution JAR because it is on the user's machine.
That leaves only a list of internal OFT packages in the SBOM, which all have the same license: GPL 3.0.
Closes #527.
