The point is that dependencies that are used, but not actually
included, should not be mentioned in the NOTICE file as they do not
form part of the artifact.

As it stands, the NOTICE file is confusing/misleading, and IMO should be fixed.

I've not checked the NOTICE file entries in detail, but a quick check
failed to find the Axion (not Axiom) jar anywhere. Likewise Howl,
JDOM, DOM4j. Perhaps these are included in other libraries.

The LICENSE file lists addressing-1.3.mar but there appears to be no such file.

The following files in LICENSE don't agree with the contents of the
lib directory in the war:

cglib-nodep-2.1_3.jar
geronimo-commonj_1.1_spec-1.0.jar
