I tried to search for this, but couldn't find anything. I just created a portlet and deployed it copying the file to the deploy directory. I created an instance of it okay, but when I try to add the instance to a page it gets silly: Say I'm modifying the portals > default portal > Weather page - Layout. At the left side of screen (content definition) I have my portlet, let's call it MyPortlet. I select it and click "add" under "page layout". What I get is a number between 0-100 being added to the the list, where other portlets are called for example "WeatherPortletWindow". I want my portlet to have a funky name like that. I tried to poke around the weather portlet sources and could find a default-object.xml with a <window-name>-tag. I tried to read the documentation at http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.6.2/referenceGuide/html/xmldescriptors.... (It's pretty hard-to-read, by the way) and (mis?)understood that this default-object.xml automatically deploys the portlet somewhere or something... This isn't what I want. I tried to use the weather portlet's default.xml as a model, but it was somehow tied to portlet-instance names, etc. Couldn't figure it out. I'm using 2.6.2-GA if that matters.
