Clean up Xalan-J 2.7.1 NOTICE/LICENSE 
--------------------------------------

                 Key: XALANJ-2358
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2358
             Project: XalanJ2
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Brian Minchau


The xalan-j_2_7_1-bin.zip has a top level directory of  xalan-j_2_7_1  (this is 
OK)

1) In this directory the Apache NOTICE and LICENSE files are missing.  
It is true that in the licenses subdirectory we have xalan.LICENSE.txt with the 
right contents, but it is in the wrong directory with a wrong base file name 
(same for NOTICE).

2) For serializer.jar xalan.jar xsltc.jar (if they are packaged) we should have:
NOTICE.serializer.jar.txt
LICENSE.serializer.jar.txt
LICENSE.xalan.jar.txt
NOTICE.xalan.jar.txt
LICENSE.xstlc.jar.txt
LICENSE.xsltc.jar.txt
(these are already in the liceneses directory with the wrong names).

3) For other jars we should have NOTICE.<jarname>.txt and LICENSE.<jarname>.txt 
where possible

4) the various readme files should be deleted and any relevant information 
should be moved into the corresponding 
NOTICE.<jarname>.txt file. For example xalan.README.txt should be deleted, 
which contains this:
-----------------------------------------------------
xalan.jar - Xalan-Java 2 - XSLT Processor.

Source:         http://xml.apache.org

See the following files for licenses and attribution notices that apply to 
xalan.jar:
  licenses/xalan.LICENSE.txt
  licenses/xalan.NOTICE.txt
  licenses/BCEL.LICENSE.txt
  licenses/regexp.LICENSE.txt
  licenses/runtime.LICENSE.txt
-----------------------------------------------------

So lines like these shoud be added to NOTICE.xalan.jar.txt:
-----------------------------------------------------
See the following files for licenses and attribution notices that apply to 
xalan.jar:
  LICENSE.bcel.txt
  LICENSE.regexp.txt
  LICENSE.runtime.txt
  NOTICE.serializer.txt
  LICENSE.serializer.txt
-----------------------------------------------------
... of course in the 2 jar distribution the attribution to regexp and runtime 
need not be there.
