Hi all,
I was wondering if it would be possible to add support for Portlets if not existing yet.
I recently started working with the Weblogic Platform and more in particular the Weblogic Portal. Since I need to create Portlets, Pages …
it would be nice to have the same functionality found in the weblogic Workshop.
Creating Portal Applications, a Portal or portlet should be straightforward using a wizard. Maybe having some XDoclet build script creating the xml files for you.I would also like to deploy the complete package to a portal server. So having a connector to the Weblogic 8.1 Portal Server would be great. I do not believe it is possible to use the same connector provided in MyEclipse 3.7??
Wouldn’t this be a great addon???
Greetz,
Les.JSR 168 is hitting the mainstream now. The one’s I’ve worked with recently: IBM (portal 5.1), BEA (8.1.x) and Vignette’s latest Portal (7.2) releases all support JSR 168 – probably most of the others as well. They are all pushing JSR 168 as the prefered development platform going forward. IBM has JSR 168 portlet dev support in their latest release of Rational App Developer (an Eclipse based platform). There are a number of opensource projects that have a JSR 168 container (gridsphere is the one I can recall).
Features: Wizards to generate Java source to handle the different modes (View, Edit Help, etc). Also, a tool that helps you generate the portlet.xml off the componenets in your app. Another nice to have would be a tool that would help you convert an existing web app into a JSR 168 compliant web app.
Has anyone within Genuitec taken a look at this lately and if so what ideas are getting tossed around in terms of features and timeframe?

No honestly we haven’t but I can add your (detailed) notes to our Portlet issue that we are tracking which will help us prioritize features for our upcomming releases after 4.0.
Do you have any links for the specific plugins that you think might be good additions?
They only eclipse plugin I’ve used is in IBM RAD 6.0. Here is one I haven’t used but its available through LGPL. I’m sure someone will develop a free plugin eventually.

Deploying of web applications as portlets would be a great addition to MyEclipse, and would pretty much allow me to stop using JDeveloper once and for all.
And again,
please add wizards for creating portlets, especially support for Jetspeed2 (cause it’s great) 😉
If there is a portlet support in an upcoming version of myeclipse, it will became my favourite ide.
atm I have to work with IBM RAD, but I priorize the myeclipseide. but without portal/portlet support, it’s more or less useless for my work.add my vote for jsr 168 portlets. Today I develop application in MyEclipse and then migrate my project into RAD 6.0 for refactoring for WebSphere Portal environment. I’ve add to my machine 2GB memory, but the RAD still work slowly.
