Looks good to me. Two thoughts: 1) How is the end-year of the copyright done? AIUI, that should be the year of last edit and not the year in which it is built. So if I build something that hasn't been touched in a year, it should still have last year's year on it. 2) Add a macro language for the license/notice so it can pull things in from the transitives when added in. It should also fail when it can't find said license information. At least for the LICENSE part as that applies to all licenses etc. I'm not sure we have NOTICEs in the Maven repository.
