   The plugin is definitely better than nothing as soon as there's a manual 
pass, because:
   1. The plugin lists all license for a dependency (dual license), which is 
wrong, license should be exclusive.
   2. The distribution should include pointer or inline license content for 
BSD/MIT, the plugin doesn't do that.
   3. The dependencies should be grouped to avoid a lot of duplicate content
   4. The NOTICE should be analyzed and correctly populated (it's manual)
   
   As an example, here's a LICENSE/NOTICE I did mixing script I created and 
manual check:
   * https://github.com/apache/polaris/blob/main/quarkus/distribution/LICENSE
   * https://github.com/apache/polaris/blob/main/quarkus/distribution/NOTICE
   
   So, if the plugin is an assistance tool, it's totally fine, but it needs 
manual check imho (and also if the plugin is able to group dependencies, that 
would be great).
