I would prefer to not reintroduce the genesis dependencies.

A lot of this can be done more easily with maven tools some of which
are included automatically by genesis.

Kevan,
You consistently find more faults with things than my mother-in-
law. Is it because you're a fussy bastard or because you have a
handy tool that we can use before we put forth a vote?
Heh. You do mean "my mother-in-law, who I love dearly" right?
I guess I'm on the fussy bastard side of things. I'll do some set
of the following...
1) run rat against the src (see http://code.google.com/p/arat/).
E.g.:
svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/xbean/tags/xbean-3.4/
cd xbean-3.4
java ~/rat-0.5.1.jar .
mvn rat:check
And then scan the results
2) Check the LICENSE and NOTICE file in the root of the source tree
you have to do this by hand.
3) Check the generated jar files for license/notice files. E.g.:
ssh people.apache.org
emacs ~gnodet/public_html/staging/xbean-3.4 (I'm an *old* fussy
bastard ;-).
and browse around, open some jars (emacs makes this easy) and make
sure things look correct -- i.e. the jars contain LICENSE and
NOTICE files (and these files appear to contain the appropriate
info).
if i'm feeling particularly fussy, i'll check all of the jars.
should be a simple matter to create a script to scan all the jars
ianal-maven-plugin (codehaus) does a very thorough job of this.
thanks

4) Check for appropriate license/notice information for embedded
artifacts
If the project embeds other project's jar files. I'll spot check
for the inclusion of the necessary license/notice files for these
artifacts. Some jars include their license/notice information in
the jars. If there are projects which I don't recognize and they
don't document their license information in their jar file, i'll
find their license information on the web.
5) I've also been known to scan for old-style src license headers.
They seem to reappear every once an a while. To do this, the
following works pretty well
grep -RL "Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)" *
--kevan
