Description

In order to fullfill 0.1.0-incubating legal requirements we added a custom jar resource bundle than in NOTICE explicitly mentions to refer to DEPENDENCIES file, for non Apache licensed dependencies.

Namely the only difference between the standard apache-jar-resource bundle and the chemistry-jar-resource-bundle (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/chemistry/chemistry-jar-resource-bundle) is this bit of text in the NOTICE.vm file:

"EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES

This softare depends on libraries with separate copyright notices and
license terms. Your use of these dependencies is subject to the licenses
referred to in the separate DEPENDENCIES file."

My question here is do we really need this custom text for legal issue? If so, we need to properly release the chemistry-jar-resource-bundle (never released before) so that OpenCMIS release process can be reproducible and rely on it (for now I used it deployed on my local repo while releasing OpenCMIS)

Thoughts?
