No, it isn't as simple as that. You need to look for the license specified against each item. Looking at jfree.org, it seems that resources there are licensed with the LGPL. Unfortunately, LGPL code cannot be included within ASF projects, as they place additional restrictions on usage that make it incompatible with the Apache License (for more info, see third party licensing link at http://www.apache.org/legal). That doesn't stop you using them, just that they can't be hosted at Apache. Are these utilities that you already have committed in the Felix repo, or ones that you would have liked to include?
