Yep, as Jason pointed out, it's a Maven rule, not an Apache one.

IMO, you complied with it by stating the rev and providing the  
appropriate binary. I think we have a stated intent to use staged  
release artifacts instead, but until the tools work completely I  
think the 'old process' is just fine.

However, Daniel is right in that they are missing the necessary  
license files, so I'll vote on the thread -1.

I used the old way for surefire as Jason said the tools weren't  
working when I asked and I found it less error prone than copying  
over by hand. Sounds like they might be fixed but until that makes it  
into a released version.
