I am pleased to announce that a new version Portal Pack 3.0.4 is now available for download. There was a long gap between Portal Pack 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 release because of various reasons. But this new version is aimed to be compatible with NetBeans 6.9, Liferay 6 and also latest version of Portlet Container.
So here are some key features
- Support For Liferay 6
- Compatible with NetBeans 6.5 to NetBeans 6.9
- Latest Portlet Container Support on both GlassFish V2 & V3
Many thanks to Deepak for helping me for this release.
If you want to contribute any new feature or doc, you can leave a message here in this blog or send a mail to portalpack at contrib.netbeans.org
FYI, This project is no longer sponsored by Sun/Oracle.
Oh I am so glad, that this projects continues. I hope that at some point I will be able to write JSF 2.0 portlets with Netbeans and this plugin. Thanks
What a pleasant surprise to see the new plugins for LR 6.x ..This is awesome..
Hi. I’ve tried this new version with Liferay 6.0.x and found some problems with ServiceBuilder:
- when creating service.xml the dtd declaration is wrong: http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-service-builder_5_1_0.dtd
- “generate services” throws an exception and stops, backtrace is
———-
==> ${serviceBuilder.getTypeGenericsName(method.returns)} [on line 34, column 32 in com/liferay/portal/tools/servicebuilder/dependencies/persistence.ftl]
———-
Could you please try changing the dtd and generate ?
Can you please explain what do you mean by changing the dtd. What has to be changed. even i am facing the same problem.

The service builder plugin is actually broken with liferay 6.0.5. There are some changes required in Portal Pack to support service builder for liferay 6.0.5 . I will try to fix that issue in next release.
Is there any alternative to make this work now? I want to use workflow in LR 6.0.5 and need the servicebuilder for adding workflow functionality for a custom asset. Can we use the class built in LR 5.2.3 in LR 6.0?
You can follow the workaround given in this blog for now

Hi, I tried to download the portal pack from the Netbeans web sites but it says that files are missing. Anyone can help me ? Thank you.
Ok I found the solution myself. The problem was in how the netbeans website generate the url. Here the correct one: http://netbeans.org/projects/contrib/downloads/download/portalpack/pp304/portal-pack-plugin-3_0_4_all.zip
thank’s for news
Hi Satya!
My problem is, that I can’t find the sources for 3.0.4.
$ hg clone http://hg.netbeans.org/release65/contrib contrib
abort: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
I especially interested in this error:
http://netbeans-org.1045718.n5.nabble.com/Portal-pack-3-0-4-Bugs-with-liferay-6-server-td2971823.html
I got exactly the same with liferay 6.0.6
I think the link to handle the protlets is broken.
So where can I find the sources. Or when will it be fixed?
Thanx for the help
Thanks for pointing this out.
Looks like the repository has been renamed. So the new repository location for portalpack is
http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/contrib
The revision number for latest version of PortalPack (3.0.4) is 9849513fd3c5
So you should use the following command to get the latest Portal Pack code
hg clone http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/contrib -r 9849513fd3c5
I will try to merge the latest code to the main revision, so there will be no confusion in future.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Satya
