Our old release the 0.5 version , the dependency jar files doesn't be

consider, there maybe some legal issue.
I'm not saying it is impossible, but we do need to make sure that our
LICENSE and NOTICE files reflect what we're actually distributing. So
if we distribute additional 3rd party code (in the form of a
dependencies JAR) then we may need to add their info. But I'm not
100% certain. Maybe someone knows for sure what the policy on this
is?
Ok, this seems to be more complicated than I thought. I just had a look
at the clerezza project that we are using. They are including some of
the dependencies in the NOTICE file (among those WYMIWYG which is also
a transitive dependency for us) and some additional licenses in their
LICENSE file.
Which information needs to be included depends on the license:
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#required-third-party-notices
I guess we could obtain a lot of the required information from the
direct dependencies we have as those are all Apache projects. But I am
OK with distributing the current release without the dependencies and
have a look at this for the release after that. I'd just like to add
links to the projects to the README file.

I do not understand the problem.
In the target output directory of the binaries are different JARs.
Already one jar including with all the dependencies (at least when the
complete ODF Toolkit project had been build).
Yes, but these are not included in the binary distribution. It would
probably be enough to add this to the distribution so users can choose
which one to use.
Am I totally off the track with this?
No, I only haven't related your comment with the distribution. I would
second your suggestion, that all dependency jars, e.g.
simple-odf-0.8-incubating-jar-with-dependencies.jar should be
distributed.
Note: If we do that we'll probably will need to revisit our LICENSE
and NOTICE files since we'll be distributing additional components in
our release.
Or, I'd be fine with just packaging as we did in our last release. I
don't think we've seen any notes from users saying that they could not
figure out the dependencies. Or did I miss something?
