jars are widely distributed these days (through the maven repository and
elsewhere) so IMHO this is a wider issue than just activeMQ.

the NOTICE file should be included in the jar (as well as the LICENSE).
perhaps it would be a good idea for all incubator releases to include a few
words in the NOTICE file indicating that it's an incubator release. for
example:

"This product includes software developed by
The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).

This product includes software released during incubation
at The Apache Software Foundation."

in addition, perhaps the MANIFEST could indicate that this is an incubator
release. for example:

Implementation-Vendor: Incubator@Apache Software Foundation

(rather than Implementation-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation as is
standard)

i'd probably also favour indicating the status in the name of the jar so
incubator-xxx-1.0.jar rather than apache-xxx-1.0.jar.
