That NOTICE file still contains additional text about Jetty and HSQLDB, why is that needed? The Apache License section 4d describes what must be included in the NOTICE and AIUI it says you only need to include in your NOTICE the notices from Jetty and HSQLDB if you distribute derivitave works of them. Thats not what you're doing you are distributing copies of the them not Derivative Works so nothing is needed in your NOTICE file.
