Apache Wink starts within Equinox and runs OK, but produces lots of warnings

Question

I'm developing an Eclipse plugin which runs Apache Wink in the container. When deploying the plugin to an application built on Eclipse I get lots of warnings. I know the target Eclipse is already running another Jetty container for its own purposes, not sure if it has any bearing. Anyway, when I start up I get lots of warnings of the sort seen below. However, Wink starts fine, and my servlets are all running as expected. Any idea what these mean?

Answer 1

These INFOs and even the WARNINGs are normal to see with wink. I don't see anything that you should worry about here. Wink tries several things to find providers and configuration, in most cases you don't need them.
