Looking at the exchange on the vote thread and the differences between
current maven best practice (in my limited understanding) and what
felix does I think it would be a really good idea to
1. upgrade the felix-parent to use the apache 7 pom and simplify all
the felix projects to rely on its apache-release profile which
automatically creates the required source bundle sufficient to build
the project.
2. change or clarify the felix policy on NOTICE files so that they
only refer to what is actually in the artifact they are in and rely on
other files such as the DEPENDENCIES generated by the maven-remote-
resources plugin for information about licenses you are apt to need to
consider when you use the software.
(1) is a lot more important than (2) IMNSHO but I have to say I find
it somewhat infuriating when I find a NOTICE file that includes
attributions for stuff that isn't included especially when I've found
a different implementation to substitute.
