Description

### Search before asking

- [x] I had searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/incubator-xtable/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found no similar issues.

### Please describe the bug 🐞

I inspected the content of the bundled jars and found that there are some licenses under the respective directory (`META-INF/licenses`) but there are no classes for those libraries in the jars.

xtable-aws:
- LICENSE-antlr4-runtime — no ANTLR classes present
- LICENSE-glassfish-java-servlet-jsp — no servlet/JSP classes present
- LICENSE-slf4j-api — no SLF4J classes present

xtable-hudi-support-extensions:
- LICENSE-antlr4-runtime — no ANTLR classes present
- LICENSE-javax-annotation-api — no javax.annotation classes present

xtable-hive-metastore:
- LICENSE-slf4j-api — no SLF4J classes present

Research direction

Inspect the packaging configuration for the xtable-aws, xtable-hudi-support-extensions, and xtable-hive-metastore bundled jars, then reproduce the report by listing their contents. Determine whether the orphaned license files should be removed or whether the corresponding dependencies are missing; done means each bundled license matches a dependency actually present in the jar.
