    Hi JOnAS users,

We're very pleased to announce the general availability of 2 new 
versions of JOnAS: 5.1.6 
<http://wiki.jonas.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/News/JOnAS_5_1_6> and 5.2M4 
<http://wiki.jonas.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/News/JOnAS_5_2_0_M4>.
These releases are both Java EE 5 certified 
<http://java.sun.com/javaee/overview/compatibility.jsp>

    * JOnAS 5.1.6 (See Releases notes
      <http://wiki.jonas.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/News/JOnAS_5_1_6>) is a
      bug fixes version.

    With the correction of JONAS-104
    <http://jira.ow2.org/browse/JONAS-104> & JONAS-315
    <http://jira.ow2.org/browse/JONAS-315> issues, the migration of J2EE
    1.4 applications (with EJB2) is now as simple as dropping your
    legacy application in the deploy/ folder.
    This version also includes a long awaited feature: declaration of
    filtered packages (to hide system libraries to the application) at
    the application level (See online documentation
    <http://jonas.ow2.org/JONAS_5_1_6/doc/doc-en/html/j2eeprogrammerguide.html#id1184972>).
