Thanks Bobby for sending out the information.
In order to better understand upgrade activities, Bobby created an
umbrella issue and dependent tasks for each area.
Refer to
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/showdependencytree.cgi?id=14467
Please update the task with details on what you have tested for your
area and close it. Thanks in advance.

Without this, bugs in your area may not be found until it's too late to fix them. This shouldn't take much of your time, possibly half an hour (unless you don't have some way already to test your area), and it would be best if you could do this before next Monday evening, before the next promotion. We're running out of time to get a usable promotion for testing.

> 7. If there were issues, file them and add the "3.1-upgrade" keyword. Also please add me (bbissett) to the cc list. Current issues: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/buglist.cgi?keywords=3.1-upgrade

Obviously it's a good idea to add a dev test if you can -- otherwise someone else might break what you just tested and you'll end up getting the bug first. More info:
