J2 release for ApacheCon ?

Hi guys,

Do you think we're going to have the JS 2.0 actually released for ApacheCon ?

The reason why I ask is the PRC (Public Relation Committee) is readying a couple
a press releases for ApacheCon and we can possibly use these to let the world
know about Jetspeed 2.0... provided we're actually on time to deliver ;)

I'm ready to provide some Q&A testing over the week-end as required.

It appears to have lost the derby version number. One of the
project.xmlfiles will have a dependency on derby, the java database.
You can hardcode
the version number 10.1.1.0. It sounds like there is a missing property
somewhere.

derby.version=10.1.1.0

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but there should be a
project.propertiesfile in your d:/myportal directory.

The build cannot continue because of the following unsatisfied dependency:

How to build a custom Portal Server

Posted by Liu Yan <yl...@gmail.com>.
hi,

I am new to the JetSpeed as well as the Portal Server. Based on the Getting Started page on the J2 web site, I successfully built and deployed the the default Portal Server all from the J2 source. It runs well based on MySql backend. All sample Portlets are cool except the RSS one, however, I didn't look into it more.

My current task is to build a custom Portal Server. After some doc reading and mail list archive search, I found little information on it, Wiki has such title but with empty content. I guess I could miss something in the archive. The following are the steps I took:

Environment: Windows XP Professional, Tomcat 5.5.12, MySql 4.1 NT, JDK1.5.0_05

1) Download Maven 1.0.2 (It seems there is some problem for J2 working with Maven 1.1-beta, is that true?), set MAVEN_HOME, and PATH
2) Delete the ${user.home}/.maven directory, this directory working fine for the default build directly from J2 source as I mentioned above, but I'd like to delete it to have a clean environment.
3) Create a directory, say d:\myportal, copy the build.properties to this directory

maven.repo.remote = http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven/, http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/, \
  http://dist.codehaus.org/, http://cvs.apache.org/repository
org.apache.jetspeed.project.home = d:/myportal

org.apache.jetspeed.portal.home = d:/myportal
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.name=myportal
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.groupId = myportal
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.artifactId = portal
jetspeed.version=2.0-dev
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.currentVersion = 1.0

org.apache.jetspeed.genapp.home= d:/myportal
org.apache.jetspeed.genapp.groupId=myportal
org.apache.jetspeed.genapp.name=Test Portal
org.apache.jetspeed.genapp.currentVersion=1.0

(There are other settings related to Tomcat and DB config, I didn't list them here for brevity)

4) Run: maven -DartifactId=maven-jetspeed2-plugin -DgroupId=jetspeed2 -Dversion=2.0-M4-SNAPSHOT plugin:download

BUILD SUCCESSFULLY

5) Run: maven j2:portal.genapp

BUILD SUCCESSFULLY

6) Run: maven war:install

After download a lot of stuffs, the build failed with the output:
WARNING: Failed to download derby-.jar.
The build cannot continue because of the following unsatisfied dependency:

What did I do wrong? Or do I just simply misunderstand the concept of how to build a custom portal server?

Your reply is appreciated.

Re: J2 release for ApacheCon ?

Posted by Philip Mark Donaghy <ph...@gmail.com>.
Here is the first draft.

The Jetspeed team will announce the 2.0 release of it's enterprise
information portal framework on December 10th at ApacheCon US 2004. Jetspeed
2 is a full implementation of the Java Portlet API. Notable features include
security components backed by LDAP and database implementations and some
robust administration interfaces. Custom portals can be built and deployed
using the Jetspeed plugin for Maven. Developers can use the Jetspeed PSML
language to assemble portlets and the Apache Portals Bridges project to
'bridge' portals with existing technologies including Struts, JSF, PHP,
Perl. For GUI designers, Jetspeed comes with several built-in templates used
to decorate portals and portlets. Join the growing community of Jetspeed
users and developers at ApacheCon. David Sean Taylor will be presenting a
Jetspeed tutorial that shouldn't be missed by anyone interested in the
technology.

Let me know if you want something longer, there is so much to say.

I'll take a shot at it. I've been working on some wiki docs and I've got
some offline stuff already prepared.

Major cool :)
Can any English native speaker try to write a small press release for 2.0 so
that we can submit it to susan on the PRC ?
If nobody volunteers, I can have a go over the week-end but I'm awfully bad
at press releases :/

Yes, that is the plan.
Shooting for a Wednesday release date.
