Benjamin Mestrallet commented on GTNPORTAL-702:
-----------------------------------------------

This feature is important in a production environment while you think yourself of a dev env.

Indeed there are 2 different types of people working with the portal:

- the developer that adds/package is portlet for his enterprise or for the company that sells it
- the operation guy, who is functional and that manages the application he provides to the end users.

There is a big difference between the two usage and the import button is there to ease the work of the developer when he develops BUT this should not be used in production.

Adding automatically the portlet is not something we want in real life as it does not give the power to the operation guy to rename, organize, describe and secure the application before making them available to the end users

> GateIn Portal has an "Import Applications" submenu feature that is used to import applications the very first time GateIn is used. Julien Viet told me that this is related to the JCR. 
> I would suggest to remove this feature, that has to be manually triggered, and let the Portal adds any valid WAR package at startup-time. This would avoir the need to execute this task once for all. 
> When we compare with Liferay 5.2, any valid web application is automatically available in the "Control Panel" Menu. When an application is not valid, but some of its meta can be extracted, the Liferay control panel will show the Portlet name grayed out. 
> As a GateIn Portal user, I'd like to drop my WAR in the webapp folder, reload the list of available applications, and see all my Portlets, without the need to call this "Import Applications" feature.
