[jbosstools-dev] Showing no URL after deploying a Portlet project

Well, we got a basis today that is <hostname of server you are running>:<webport>/<contextroot> + <whatever the current selection "resolves to">

What kind of url are we talking here ? If just something like /myportlet/somename then try just setting the contextroot (its in project preferences) and if it works you can actually set this via some maven properties
and m2e will apply them so it will "just work" today.

By something I meant "that place in portlet UI where you can see and test your portlets" - I don't recall where it is though. its been mentioned before as the only place
where you can actually see a list or just a view of the porlets.
