Many thanks to Lahiru & Heshan for going through each of the pom's and making 
sure all license and notice files now cover transitive dependencies. I did a 
sanity check and also cleaned up the builds. All the concerns raised so far 
seems to be addressed. 

I want to summarize the issues raised for 0.2-Incubating RC1 and see if we have 
addressed them. Once we make sure all issues are addressed, we can go for a 
formal vote. 

Chris:
* There are multiple url's which is inconvenient for reviewers
* After vote, the source and binary have to be staged on ASF mirrored location.
--Both of these are addressed in consultation with Chris and will follow these 
for RC2 and further releases

Alek:
* Axis2 pom download error
--It is caused by a corrupt axis2 pom unrelated to the RC. Rebuilding with a 
clean .m2 worked.
* Type in README 
--fixed.
* Usability issue in 10 minute tutorial related to XML serialization
--deferred to future release for improvements. 

Ate:
* Multiple concerns on 3rd party licenses and notices
 --There were two issues, firstly the build was not copying the correct L&N 
files and secondly the transitive licenses were incomplete. Both of these 
issues are now addressed. 

Please verify if the above issues are fixed in the following:

Hi Ate,

I think we have enough eye balls looking at the technical validity of the 
release but need your techno-legal expertise to make sure L,N,D files meet the 
requirements. Will greatly appreciate your time.

Thanks,
Suresh
