{#asciidoc} = Mojarra 2.0 hits FCS Jason Lee 2009-10-19

Ryan Lubke announced today the availability of the first production-ready JSF 2 implementation with the release of Mojarra 2.0. You can download the binaries directly from java.net, or, use the information Ryan posted for specifying a dependency in your Maven pom file.

Congrats to (the rest of) the Expert Group and, of course, the Mojarra development team (Ryan, Jim, Ed and Roger).

{#asciidoc} = GlassFish v3 FishCAT Announced Jason Lee 2009-09-23

During the GlassFish v3 Prelude development cycle, the GlassFish team launched an initiative called FishCAT, which is our Community Acceptance Testing program. The program was very successful for Prelude, resulting in many, many reported (and fixed! : ) issues for the Prelude release. As we press hard toward the release of GlassFish v3 final later this fall, this program has been re-launched to help us engage our user community. Through this program, testers will have a much greater impact on the final quality of the product when it finally ships. If you’d like more information, you can see the announcement here, and a description of the program here. If you’d like to sign up and help, the application can be found here.

{#asciidoc} = Mojarra Scales 1.3.2 Has Been Released Jason Lee 2009-08-27

Late last night, I published Mojarra Scales 1.3.2. This is mostly a bug and performance fix, but here are some highlights from the release:

The jar files, including the demo app, can be downloaded from kenai.com or via maven (the demo is not in maven).

With the architectural changes in 1.3 out of the way, the next version of Scales should include more components, as well as enhancements to existing components. At some point, the project will be branched for a migration to JSF 2. With the spec being final and Mojarra 2 scheduled to ship in a couple of weeks, it seems the time is right for the move. Time will tell, of course, how soon that move is made.

If you have any issues, please comment in the forum.
