As promised, I'm sending this follow up message to notify you all the release
candidates for the portlet-spec jars have been created.
And, I've updated the APA, Pluto and Jetspeed-2 trunks to now use the
portlet-api_2.0_spec-1.0.jar.
Until the voting on these release candidates has been completed successfully, anyone willing to build one of the APA, Pluto or Jetspeed-2
projects from trunk will have to checkout and locally install the following projects first (from the ASF svn tree):
/portals/portals-pom/tags/1.2
/portals/portlet-spec/portlet-api_2.0_spec/tags/1.0
Note: anyone already having build and deployed a portal using the previous 1.0-SNAPSHOT version and/or earlier used portlet-api-2.0.jar, do
make sure to delete such an old jar from your (Tomcat) shared/lib folder when building and deploying again.
With kind regards,
Ate

Hi team, dear community,
For those who have been following the recent changes on APA, Pluto and
Jetspeed-2 trunks with regards to the portlet-api (2.0) dependencies,
you will have noticed we're in the process of replacing the JCP provided
portlet-api artifacts with our own Apache Portals based open source
implementations of these specs (both portlet-api 1.0 and 2.0).
The current APA, Pluto and Jetspeed-2 trunks have been updated to use
the current portals/portlet-spec/portlet-api_2.0_spec trunk which has
version 1.0-SNAPSHOT, which in turn uses the current portals/portals-pom
trunk with version 1.2-SNAPSHOT.
As the portlet-spec jars haven't been released yet, nor this latest
portals-pom, to be able to build either APA, Pluto or Jetspeed-2 from
trunk, you'll have to checkout and build/install the
portlet-api_2.0_spec trunk yourself first.
But, I'm about to start the release process for portals-pom-1.2 and the
portlet-spec projects 1.0 versions.
While doing that, their trunk version will get updated and a new version
tag will be created for version 1.2 and 1.0 respectively.
And, thereafter, the trunk versions will be bumped to 1.3-SNAPSHOT and
1.1-SNAPSHOT respectively.
This means, the current APA, Pluto and Jetspeed-2 trunks used dependency
for portlet-api_2.0_spec will *not* be buildable locally anymore.
Anyone planning to start building either of these projects from scratch
should hold off for a short while.
As soon as I finished the initial release steps, I'll update the APA,
Pluto and Jetspeed-2 trunks to use the newly created tagged versions,
e.g. portals-pom-1.2 and portlet-api_2.0_spec-1.0.jar.
After that, anyone wanting to build from scratch then will have to
checkout and build/install these tagged versions locally, until after
the release voting period (3 working days minimum) and these artifacts
hopefully will get distributed to the Central Maven repository.
I'll send a follow up email to the -dev@ lists after I finished the
initial steps as described above.
With kind regards,
Ate Douma
