We can surely share more - that said mvn plugin should do it by itself - but each distribution (tomee web, tomee plus, openejb) has different jars and then different notices so not sure we can reduce the number of files - that said sharing the header template is a good idea. Also we have to conform to apache standards to aggregate licenses in a single file so licenses dir is a potentially nice addition but not a replacement for current setup.
