In my effort to commit the new Axis2 component in framework I wonder about 
licences issues.
I have added the necessary in NOTICE, it was easy, no problems
Currently in the component, at framework/axis2/webapp/axis2/WEB-INF/lib/ 
precisely, there are a number of libraries which come with
their licence files. There are near hundred files (97 exactly), 40 being 
licence files.
I was ready to put the content of these licence files in the LICENCE file and 
to put also the libraries with them as it's done for
the others.
But then I wondered if it's a worthwhile (very tedious) task.
For 2 reasons :
1) The information is already there, and we could just said that in the LICENCE 
file
2) If we do so future updates will be far easier (nothing to check but maybe 
updating the wiki page related to libraries)

What do you think ? Do we really need to put these informations in LICENCE file 
or a simple mention in it would be sufficient ?
Something like <<Some extra libraries come with Axis2, their licence files can 
be found into
framework/axis2/webapp/axis2/WEB-INF/lib/>> added after
<<Other licenses used by libraries distributed with Apache OFBiz are listed
below. This file includes a list of all libraries distributed with Apache
OFBiz and the full text of the license used for each.>>

Thanks

Yes, this sounds like the better place. Webtools with a link seems more 
accessible. I will do

+1 on David's comment.

Somehow I missed to think like this.

Sorry I missed the earlier message...

Shouldn't this be in the framework and refactored to be part of the service or 
perhaps webtools components? I ask because I
think this is more of a core/technical type of functionality.
