As you are aware, we have to sort out the Solder issues on GlassFish. We
want to solve this problem in the most efficient manner as possible, which
we believe is by using Arquillian to get the Solder test suite to run on
GlassFish (allowing us to work inside the IDE and debugger). We will target
GlassFish 3.1-b37 or better. Once it passes, that will be our indication it
works (plus some subsequent manual testing just to be sure).

However, the remote GlassFish adapter for Arquillian based on JSR-88 was
extremely fragile and when we leaned on it, it fell apart. So Jason Porter
came through in a major way and implemented a new remote GlassFish adapter
for Arquilian based on the admin REST API in GlassFish 3.1. I verified last
night that it works and I pushed out a snapshot.

What this means is that we can now comfortably debug the Arquillian tests,
likely getting us there a heck of a lot faster. Here are the steps that need
to be performed:

1. Add the arquillian-glassfish-remote-3.1:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT profile to the
Solder pom.xml
2. Move all sources from api/ into impl/ (we will more gradually move
sources to the api/ module once tests are passing on GlassFish)
3. Work through the failing tests and figure out which ones are failing and
get them fixed
4. Merge Ken's logging changes (I think biting this bullet is important for
the first Beta1)
(anything I may be missing)

I'll do #1 shortly and hopefully #2 before the end of the day (or I'll
delegate it). #3 is work for the weekend or early next week. #4 should be
quick once we solve the GlassFish issue.
