Thanks for replying, but you are way too late to make a difference. Wrt to the content of your reply: are you kidding? The differences in developing around JBoss portal compared to GateIn are huge. The JBP as a portal framework worked well for us. The process of integrating external components, such as external login systems, was well thought out in JBP. Exo as a portal product we rejected very early in the selection process. Ultimately it got down to a choice between JBP and Liferay. Once we learned that JBP was dead, well, that pushed us right into the Liferay camp. Liferay is ok, but I do miss JBP.
