I don't know precisely what steps you are following at the moment, but if there is an opportunity to manually intervene and fix-up the binary JAR licenses before the artefacts are hashed / signed / uploaded then that could simply be a "documented step" until the scripts handle it all. ... or even produce the JAR, then - delete the exe-jar's sig/hash - rearrange the L&N files - re-sign/hash Provided it is a repeatable process for the binaries, I think that would be ok.
