Sachin,At a minimum, you need to add:
OpenEJB, MX4J, and XStream to the root LICENSE file
MX4J, and XMLBeans to the root NOTICE file
Did you investigate Hessian licensing? I didn't find any licensing info (at first). So, took a look at the source. The first source file I looked at contained the following:

I now see the following statement on their wiki:
"Caucho Technology has released this Hessian implementation under an open source license (the Apache license). Anyone may freely download, use, and redistribute the Hessian implementation."
But that's the strongest source of licensing info, that I've found...

Sachin,
I'm afraid I don't see either a NOTICE or LICENSE files in the plugin zip file, itself, nor any of the embedded jar files. They all must contain both LICENSE and NOTICE files. Afraid this is a <hard> requirement. And you'll need to create new binaries... See
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what-must-every-release-contain for more information.
We should be able to reuse some of the license information we generated for G 1.1. I'm happy to help with that. I'm not sure how we're putting the NOTICE and LICENSE info in each of the jar files. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out, but perhaps someone can chime in...
