   First: Thank you for looking into this!
   
   Jan did some work on this - see here:
   
   https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/commits/generate-license-notice-dependencies
   
   The branch is far behind master, but it might be good to have a look.
   
   For the added notice files, I think in many cases they need to be smaller:
   
   http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#alv2-dep
   
   > If the dependency supplies a NOTICE file, its contents must be analyzed and the relevant portions bubbled up into the top-level NOTICE file.
   
   And
   
   http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#bundle-asf-product
   
   > It is not necessary to duplicate the line "This product includes software developed at the Apache Software Foundation...", though the ASF copyright line and any other portions of NOTICE must be considered for propagation.
   
   So the "This product includes software developed by The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/)." should be removed from the additional notices.
