Regarding release_notes.txt:
1. IMO the release notes should not include the "Installation
Prerequisites section, it should be moved to the readme.txt under the
examples.
2. It should include "Dependencies" section that should state that
1. Wink requires JDK 5 or higher.
2. The following dependencies are required only when running with JDK
5 and should be skipped, when running with JDK 6: jaxb*.jar,
activation*.jar, stax-api*.jar
3. "Logging" section should state that Wink uses Slf4j for logging. By
default it includes slf4j-simple.
1. When running with JCL, the jcl-over-slf4j should be used.
2. When running with Log4j, the log4j-over-slf4j should be used.
3. It' would be also useful to provide maven dependencies section.
Alternatively we can put it in wiki and give a link in the release notes.
