Fix LICENSE compliance: add missing javax.activation and jaxb-api JARs

[Copilot]

• Add javax.activation-javax.activation-api-1.2.0.jar to distribution/server/src/assemble/LICENSE.bin.txt under CDDL-1.1 section
• Add javax.xml.bind-jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar to distribution/server/src/assemble/LICENSE.bin.txt under CDDL-1.1 section
• Branch copilot/fix-license-branch-as-4.0 created from branch-as-4.0 with the fix applied

Original prompt

The CI job in the ascentstream/pulsar repository failed due to licensing issues. Specifically, the following JARs are unaccounted for in LICENSE: javax.activation-javax.activation-api-1.2.0.jar and javax.xml.bind-jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar. The log reports: 'It looks like there are issues with the LICENSE/NOTICE.' and the process ends with 'Process completed with exit code 1.'

To fix the failure, update the LICENSE file to properly account for javax.activation-javax.activation-api-1.2.0.jar and javax.xml.bind-jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar per project and third-party compliance requirements. Ensure these dependencies are listed with their appropriate licenses and details in the LICENSE and/or NOTICE files as needed.

Additionally, review and resolve the following Maven warnings and errors in the build:

• The POM for org.apache.yetus:audience-annotations:jar:0.11.0 is invalid, transitive dependencies (if any) will not be available.
• 'dependencies.dependency.version' for jdk.tools:jdk.tools:jar is missing.
• 'dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for jdk.tools:jdk.tools:jar is missing.

Focus first on the LICENSE file fixes to unblock CI. If time allows, also fix the Maven warnings/errors.

References from CI logs:

• javax.activation-javax.activation-api-1.2.0.jar unaccounted for in LICENSE
• javax.xml.bind-jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar unaccounted for in LICENSE
• It looks like there are issues with the LICENSE/NOTICE.
• exit code 1
• Maven dependency and POM errors as above.

The following is the prior conversation context from the user's chat exploration (may be truncated):

User: please fix by agent

Assistant: To start the process, I need to know which repository to target. Based on the URL you provided—https://github.com/ascentstream/pulsar/actions/runs/23485762355/job/68340825237?pr=86—it appears the repository is ascentstream/pulsar and the PR number is 86.

I will now retrieve information about the failing job in this workflow run so I can generate a precise problem statement for the agent.

Assistant: I'm waiting for your approval to allow the agent to create a pull request that fixes the CI failure by updating the LICENSE file and resolving Maven dependency issues.

This pull request was created from Copilot chat.

@copilot PR to branch-as-4.0

The existing PR #87 was auto-created with master as the base. I've prepared the same fix on a branch based off branch-as-4.0 (commit ad8caf0), but I'm unable to push it to a new remote branch or update the PR base programmatically from this environment.

To target branch-as-4.0, please either:

1. Change the base of this PR (Fix LICENSE compliance: add missing javax.activation and jaxb-api JARs #87) to branch-as-4.0 via the GitHub UI ("Edit" next to the base branch on the PR page), or
2. Cherry-pick the fix directly: git cherry-pick f574ed1 onto branch-as-4.0

The change itself is the same — two entries added to distribution/server/src/assemble/LICENSE.bin.txt under the CDDL-1.1 section.
