Eclipse IP team is going through every single dependency (even test ones) and checks that they have proper license and so on. And Maven projects tend to have so many dependencies that this is only slowing the process. Note that different version of e.g. plexus-utils have to be examined separately because something can sneak in. And a number of plexus artifacts are missing license information in a number of places (just an example). Please note that this is a problem not only for Eclipse but for others too. We (Fedora) have opened a number of issues to get licencing clarified in so many places that I can't count them only for maven+plugins dependencies. Another thing is the usage of outdated and obsoleted versions in a number of artifacts which have to reviewed separately despite them being dead for long time. Btw, this is part of the usual complain that Maven downloads the Internet because for certain artifacats usual "clean install" downloads more than 5 versions with all of their dependencies. This is certainly a burden for every IP clearance review.
