Another problem: the NOTICE file contains the following spurious text:

   =========================================================================
   ==  NOTICE file corresponding to the section 4 d of                    ==
   ==  the Apache License, Version 2.0,                                   ==
   ==  in this case for the Apache Maven distribution.                    ==
   =========================================================================

This must not be present in NOTICE files, which are required to be as
short as possible (but no shorter).

ASF NOTICE files must start as per the following example:

====================
Apache Maven
Copyright 2001-2013 The Apache Software Foundation

This product includes software developed at
The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).
==================

Note also that the phrase should be "developed at" not "developed by"
- the distinction is important.

Furthermore, the NOTICE file refers to additonal 3rd party software,
but there don't appear to be any LICENSE files for the software.
The licenses should either be in LICENSE.txt or linked therefrom.

-1 (non-binding)
