I have read CASSANDRA-850 but have problems to understand why it is not 
possible to automate this stuff.

Would it be possible to embed a small script (like the 
eclipse-project-libs) into the build.xml which
1. downloads all license files via their pom references
2. generates a NOTICE file based on this information.

Kind regards
Matthias
