So, GlassFish v3 is out the door, and I just got a nice little note from the dev-tracker on Java.net. This is only a fraction of the issues I’ve filed, but the rest are on the JSF-SPEC tracker, so they wouldn’t show up here. Still, nice touch!

Dear lincolnbaxter,
We’ve just released GlassFish v3 final, a full Java EE 6 open source application server which includes JSF/Mojarra 2.0.2. We’d like to thank you for your contribution with the following JavaServer Faces bug report(s) which were fixed and integrated in this release :
[1043] – Cannot Unit Test Classes extending UIComponentBase
[1289] – UINamingContainer not Serializable
[1339] – Ajax updates cause SelectOneMenus in re-rendered areas to lose all values
[1360] – BeanValidator cannot resolve composite component values- validation never occurs
[1396] – f:viewParam tag is missing name attribute in PDL docs
GlassFish v3 is available for download from : http://glassfish.org
We greatly appreciate your contribution as it helped us make GlassFish and Mojarra better for you as well as for other users.
We’re looking forward to receiving more feedback from you in the future.

thank you very much,
–The GlassFish and Mojarra teams

Now that’s a nice touch – if only the issue numbers were links, which I added for your benefit But hey, cost benefit analysis says they did a great job.

Thank you, GlassFish Team!
