IDE for JSR 286 Portlet Development

We are starting a new project on JSR 286 and wondering what should be the best IDE for JSR 286 portlet development. The project is on IBM, so IBM RAD (Rapid Application Developer) was the first choice. Though as of now the latest production release 7.0 doesn't support JSR 286 and 7.5 version which supports JSR 286 is just in beta stage. IBM has not communicated any clear date for GA.

I think it leaves us to "Portal Pack 2.0 for NetBeans 6.1", a plugin for NetBeans. I have not tested it yet, but it says the support of JSR 286. I am not sure whether it has embedded JSR 286 container for testing portlet within IDE or not? I'll check and update on this.

By the way, have you started developing JSR 286 portlets? If yes, which IDE do you use?

    Portal Pack 2.0 for NetBeans 6.1 doesn't bundle JSR 286 portlet container. Rather it can be configured to deploy portlet on various containers such as OpenPortal portlet container and Liferay portal.

    hi punit,
    Yes one can start developing JSR-286 compliant portlets using netbeans 6.1 along with Portal pack 2.0 by installing this plugin you will get basic IDE support related to JSR-286 such that automatic creation of JSPs etc. To test your portlet within IDE you have to install an implementation of the JSR-286 compliant container, for instance open portal portlet container is good one, it has also support for WSRP.
    I have installed and tested all above softwares and finally was able to create my first JSR-286 portlet and was happy to see tht running in LifeRay as well:-)
    take care,
    umar

    Hi,

    we create JSR 286 portlets using Netbeans 6.1 and Portal Pack 3.0 Beta plugin. It works almost well and it has support for Liferay (it works even for Liferay 5.2.1).

    The best thing for me is that it configures Tomcat so as it points your portlet location right into the sources so you can change JSPs on the fly.

    The only problem I found is that Netbeans uses Liferay 4.3.6 (I think) Liferay specific portlet descriptors so if you want to use some new features you have to change the DTD declaration in the liferay descriptors to 5.1.0 ;)

Web Clipping for Portals goes Mainstream

Lack of good web clippers (aka URL scrappers) in the market obstructs quick portal adoption. Web Clipping is one of the fastest methods for integrating existing applications with the portals. Though nearly all portals come with web clipper tools/ portlets but most of them lack the professional touch. Kapow and Clickmarks are two such companies in the market whose products are quite advanced in comparison to out-of-box web clipping portlets provided with most portals. Yesterday's announcement by Kapow Technology for the release of version 6.0 of "RoboSuite Web Integration platform" will definitely boost this market. Kapow Press Release

Firebase upgraded properties are not yet supported in Google Analytics App

Image
Recently I saw a message in Firebase Console to upgrade my Firebase property to Google Analytics property. Such properties are called Google Analytics App + Web properties in GA after upgrade. The primary benefit for upgrading the property that I see is that we can see all Firebase Analytics data in Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a tool that we all have used for years and it is slightly easier for me. I am also more comfortable doing analysis using Google Analytics than Firebase Analytics. On top of that we also get benefit of third party integrations like AdWords (now Google Ads) integration if we get all the data from Firebase Analytics into Google Analytics. So, I upgraded my Firebase property to Google Analytics property. The was a pleasant experience to see all Firebase Analytics data in Google Analytics in the format that I understand much better. But soon I realized that there is one important part missing. On The Go, I use Google Analytics App to get a quick glance of ...

App Worth Calculator - App Price Estimator

Now a days I see many requests for buying my Android Apps. It looks like a new business of sell & purchase of mobile app is coming up. Buying and selling websites and domain is there for quite some time now but app trading is something which looks like a recent phenomenon. Till now there is no way we can calculate price of an app for buying and selling. Keeping this in mind, I have created a website ( http://www.appprice.org/ ) and an mobile app for android (link on the website). Our " App Price Calculator " uses a formula developed by us which gives you an approximate cost of your app. This cost can be used for estimating worth of your app. Please have a look and let me know your feedback -  App Price Calculator
