Seems a good way to go in my opinion. It's an improvement over the opaque situation we had before. Licensing wise we may consider a switch to LGPLv3 or GPL3+Classpath, but that's another step, imho it's good to solidify this first one into a file that gets shipped. third-party-licenses.txt would be a good name imho.
