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?

EDIT: About 5 times as many similar messages continue on.
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.
