The Apache BVal project implements the Java EE Bean Validation specification(s)
and related extensions, and became a top-level project of the foundation on
February 15, 2012.
The community pulled together to get some improvements out the door for inclusion into
Apache TomEE 7.0.2. A parallel effort was made to clean up the JIRA backlog, closing issues
that had inadvertently become obsolete, etc.
