Description

I have configure Apache TomEE 1.5.2 to use external ActiveMQ Broker by changing tomee.xml file, I have followed details mentioned in url: http://tomee.apache.org/jms-resources-and-mdb-container.html
Below is my Resource elements in tomee.xml:
<Resource id="MyJmsResourceAdapter" type="ActiveMQResourceAdapter">
<!-- BrokerXmlConfig = broker:(tcp://localhost:61616) -->
BrokerXmlConfig =
ServerUrl = tcp://localhost:61616
</Resource>

When I start TomEE app server (I am starting inside eclipse) I get below Exception in eclipse console:
INFO: Creating Resource(id=MyJmsResourceAdapter)

It does connect to external ActiveMQ broker and every thing works fine. Only thing above exception is a unwanted at begin of TomEE startup and I am hoping to get a solution for this issue.
Thanks
