I've fixed the missing / bad ASF headers and use the new maven
plugin to generate LICENSE/NOTICE file.

Hi Guillaume,

Yes, they've changed slightly... Source files no longer contain a
copyright statement. Copyright is now in the notice file. Here's a
pointer to the current "standards" -- http://www.apache.org/legal/src-
headers.html

Notice files take the following form:

     Apache [PRODUCT_NAME]
     Copyright [yyyy] The Apache Software Foundation

     This product includes software developed at
     The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).

I don't see any external projects being included in xbean binaries.
So, it would seem that's the only content that the NOTICE files would
require.

I took a peak at the generated jar files. Looks like license/notice
files are missing from at least the following jar file:

xbean-naming

Genesis will automatically check for these during a build. Dain (I
think) had a one line command to scan for missing notice/license
files, but I can't remember how it went...

Yes, but rat doesn't identify old-style license headers. For these,
I've found the following grep command to be useful:

grep -RL --include=*.java "Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation
(ASF)" *
