Github user dschoorl commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/7 I added notice file for jcip-annotations instead of a jcip-license file. I changed the jsr305 license file based on the info in http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqExternalLibraries as pointed out by Jan. Unfortunately, the checksum of the artifact at the maven coordinates differs from the original download. The META-INF says it's build with a different JRE version. I have not thoroughly checked the contents of the maven download.
