[jira] [Created] (FLINK-19810) Automatically run a basic NOTICE file check on CI

Robert Metzger created FLINK-19810:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Automatically run a basic NOTICE file check on CI 
                 Key: FLINK-19810
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19810
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build System
            Reporter: Robert Metzger
            Assignee: Robert Metzger
             Fix For: 1.12.0


For every release, we are manually validating the NOTICE files, according to this wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Licensing

The most time-consuming task is ensuring that all modules that deploy a shaded dependency to maven central are properly documenting this dependency in their NOTICE file.

I would like to add a tool to Flink that checks if all shaded dependencies are at least mentioned in the NOTICE file.
We will still need to perform a manual checks, but the tool should catch the most common, severe and difficult to find problems.
