<question>Where can I find the Mailing List Archives for Pluto?</question>
<answer>
<p>
The lists are archived at

During the first several weeks in the incubator, the Pluto
mail archives were not being generated. If you can not find what
you are looking for, you may be able to find a more complete
history at

<question>Why can't I get the Javaworld bookmark example to work with Pluto?</question>
<answer>
<p>
The Javaworld examples are based on the proposed final
<b>draft</b>
of JSR-168. The final specification included several changes,
including some changes to the xsd.
</p>
<p>
Please see the following for a modified version of this example
which will work with Pluto.

No, Pluto is a Portlet Container. If you are looking for a

This question seems to come up every other day. Perhaps this should be a FAQ?
Let me attempt to answer it...
<BR/>
<BR/>
Pluto is a JSR-168 compliant portlet container. That means that it provides a
place for portlets to reside, but nothing else. Think of it this way: A portlet
container (which is what Pluto is) is to portlets what an aquarium is to fish.
<BR/>
<BR/>
Pluto comes with a minimal portal implementation. A portal implementation builds
on top of the base container providing additional features which may vary from
implementation to implementation. Layout and security are features that may be
provided by a portal implementation, but they are in addition to what the
container provides. Using the fish analogy again, a portal is to a portlet
container what decorations are to an aquarium.
<BR/>
<BR/>
That said, a portlet container provides the basic necessities required for
portlets to live, just as an aquarium provides water (and a barrier to contain
the water) for fish. A portal implementation provides extra stuff in addition to
the portlet container just as an aquarium may have plants, rocks, and tiny
little treasure chests that open and close. The fish can survive without the
extras, just as a portlet can survive without security or some fancy layout
engine. But the fish sure do look much nicer when surrounded with the extra
stuff, just as portlets are much more useful when used alongside extra portal
features.
