-------------------------------------

+1, I think this approach is a good way to handle variants.

> Test data files are generally only published in the source archive and potentially the test jar. They are not usually contained in binary archives nor most of the jars uploaded to Maven Central.
> Since the NOTICE is only supposed to contain attributions for the actual content of the bundle in which it is located, that makes packaging complicated.
> Furthermore, downstream consumers who wish to reuse the contents ideally need to know which files are encumbered.
> Would it be OK to add a conditional atttribution to the NOTICE file, e.g. something like:
> If present, the files listed below[*] are subject to the following notice:
> text-of-notice
> list-of-files
> [*] Or maybe use a separate linked file for the names
