    Description

      An explicit statement of relicensing the specs bundles (JSR311 API etc.) under ASL is needed to comply with CDDL article 3.5:

      3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.
      
      You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software under the terms of this License or under the terms 
      of a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in compliance
      with the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable form does not attempt to limit or alter the
      recipient's rights in the Source Code form from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Covered 
      Software in Executable form under a different license, You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ
      from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify
      the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor 
      as a result of any such terms You offer.
      

      The following should be added to the top-level NOTICES.txt:

      This product includes Java classes originally released under the Common 
      Development and Distribution License (CDDL) and relicenced here under the
      Apache Software License. These include:
        Java Activation API (javax.activation.*)
        Java Persistence API (javax.persistence.*)
        Java API for RESTful Web Services (javax.xml.rs.*)
      Any additional rights under the Apache License are offered by this project
      alone, and not by the Initial Developer or Contributor.
