Hi Robert,

You really are having a bad week; lets see if I can make your week better  ;) 

1) Wizard not recognizing your portlet runtime. As said above, if you say you 
got a portlet runtime installed that we don't recognize then *please* open a 
jira with the details of what version and name of the Portlet container you 
used and what version of jboss tools so we can investigate. Our jira is at  
http://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE http://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE Without 
that information my team can't really help since our test shows multiple 
version of JBoss Portal, GateIn and EPP as being recognized - of course our 
tests can't cover all combinations that you as an user might do but we can fix 
this but to know where to start looking please open jira with portal name and 
version.

2) User libraries - I haven't seen the portal *force* me to select a user 
library; it should only be warning you that if you continue there are probably 
going to be compile errors since there is no located runtime (see #1). Note, if 
Portal is *forcing* you to select a runtime and not allowing you to continue 
then that is a bug and please report that in jira.

3) Eclipse Facet are supposed to provide this kind of dependency automatically 
- that is partly true, but how do you expect the portlet facet to provide the 
runtime dependencies when it is not finding it ? (see #1). If we were to shove 
down on you a specific jboss portlet version distributed together with jboss 
tools then we would really be giving you vendor lockin and really bad 
dependency management (see  
http://relation.to/Bloggers/NavelgazingClasspathContainersAnEclipseAntiPattern 
this for background).

4) I opened  https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6719 
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6719 and Snjezana came back answering:

There are the following JBoss Portlet Runtimes: 
 
 - JBoss Portal 2.x bundled with JBOss AS 4.x  
 - GateIn Portal 3.x bundled with JBoss AS 5.1 
 - JBoss Portlet Container 2.0 bundled with JBoss AS 4.2 and Tomcat 
 - GateIn Portlet Container 2.1 bundled with JBoss AS 4.2, JBoss AS 5.1 and 
Tomcat 
 - EPP 
 
 The Portlet engine recognizes all these containers except GateIn Portlet  
Container bundled with JBoss AS 5.1. This server has a different name  for 
simple-portal directory (simple-portal.sar instead of  simple-portal).

Can you confirm you are using GateIn Portal 3.x bundled with AS 5.1 ?
