Any takers? Curiosity is eating at me. :) I can get over that,
though... :P

        Couple of questions:
         
        1) Why jsftemplating? Not second guessing, but, as a Facelets
fan, I'm curious why jsftemplating was chosen over Facelets. When we
looked at it, the docs were pretty sparse, so we moved on. I hear
things have changed, so we're curious what the advantages are.
        2) What/where are the Woodstock components?

                This is a Heads up regarding changes in Admin Console
for 9.1.
                
                In order to keep up with the Web technology and provide
AJAX in the admin console, the GUI team has completely rewritten the
code for the console. The new console uses JSF and the latest Woodstock
components. On top of JSF, we use Templating for JavaServer(tm)
Faces Technology <https://jsftemplating.dev.java.net/> (or
jsftemplating). Interface to the backend has also been changed, and
mostly uses AMX <https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/amx/> API.
                
                We will switch to this new JSF version of Admin GUI
this weekend, so that Monday's (12/11) nightly build will be using this
as the admin console.
                
                Another message will be sent out once the changes has
complete.
                
                thanks
                Anissa.
