I am unsure why it is this slow to load. It could be related to changes
in the server (JSF, deployment code, or web container). I do not know
of anything that should have caused that in our code, in fact, I removed
2 steps from the process which *should* speed it up, not slow it down
(it no longer expands the .war file... it's already expanded when you
unzip glassfish, and it no longer checks to see if it should download
the .war).
fwiw, It has also seemed very slow to load for me as well.

This is not intentional. It seems to re-center correctly if you move
the window or click on "Common Tasks". I suspect this got broken when I
chose to load the page at the same time as the rest of the content (tree
/ header). This improved the speed, but probably changed the order in
which the JavaScript calculates the "center". You can file a bug, but
it's probably a P4.

I don't see the flashes. However, I do know of an issue (that is not
yet filed) with the font size changing on various tree nodes -- please
file that one if you see it also. That's a P3, I think.

I have had mixed results with update center. Yesterday I told Jason
that it was taking 10+ seconds to check for updates. Then 20 minutes
later, I tried again and it was almost instantaneous. I suspect it is
related to network conditions.

I see the same thing. I'm not sure what's going on.

See comment about this above, please file an issue.

Jason is working on the tree refresh problem. This is a known filed issue.

Currently you can hit "reload" in your browser to cause the tree nodes
to appear. Until Jason is done, there isn't another easier work around.

Yes, I know about this issue and have it on my own todo list, but I do
not think it is filed. If you can, please file this as a P3 issue and
assign it to me (id == kenpaulsen).

I don't see this... however, I may not have updatecenter installed
correctly in my build. I get the following message in my server.log
file when I click on the UC tree node:
INFO: Cannot create update center Image for /opt/v3/glassfishv3; Update
Center functionality will not be available in Admin Console
You can file this bug too if you'd like.
Thanks for reporting all this!!
