Hi Scott,

This is great news! Thanks for all the hard work in getting Pluto upgraded to 
Portlet 3.

I downloaded V3Prototype-20151127.zip and am studying the demo portlet 
functionality. I’d be happy to see a live demo during today’s EG meeting in 
order to make sure I understand what the demo portlets are testing.

Quick question — When you wrote "maven-portlet-plugin" did you mean to write 
"maven-pluto-plugin”?


Thanks,

Neil
