Scan mode that operates directly on maven dependencies

Feature request

Expected Behavior - What where you expecting to happen?

It should be possible to either specify one or more artifacts as dependecies to use as the starting point of the archive scan or specify that the project artifact itself and its dependencies are scanned (for further transitive dependencies). This mode of scanning archives should provide the same result as if all dependencies are copied to a local director (via maven-dependency-plugin) and this directory is scanned.

Current Behavior - What happens?

Currently Maven dependency trees cannot be scanned for licenses directly.
