SAX attribution in NOTICE file is not required
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: WODEN-165
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WODEN-165
             Project: Woden
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: John Kaputin
            Assignee: John Kaputin
             Fix For: M8


The NOTICE file includes the attribution:

   This product includes also software developed by :
     .....
     - the SAX project (http://www.saxproject.org)

This attribution should be removed as the Woden source does not include any SAX 
code. The Woden binary distribution does include the Apache Xerces binary jar 
files which do contain SAX binary code, but the LICENSE.sax file distributed 
with Woden is sufficient to cover the use of this binary code.  

This attribution was probably added originally because the 
org.apache.woden.ErrorLocator interface javadoc says "Based on 
org.xml.sax.Locator". This not strictly correct and should be removed. The 
Woden ErrorLocator does have methods to get the line and column number of the 
error within a file, but this is the only similarity with the SAX Locator 
interface and is also similar to many other parser, interpreter and compiler 
technologies.
