[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4218) Add option to create a JBoss Portal project

[Joao Paulo Viragine (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4218?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12463780#action_12463780 ] 

Joao Paulo Viragine commented on JBIDE-4218:
--------------------------------------------

Max, 

Currently JBDS facets creates required files for portlets, but wizard creates portlet for an *existing* portal (JBDS creates a new page in default portal and it's not always the desired behavior).

What I'm proposing is to have an option to inform a portal name, so when project is deployed, JBoss Portal automatically creates the new portal. (this avoids us to have to create the new portal in JBoss Portal Admin)

To do this, JBDS may ask for a portal name and include this tags in default-object.xml:
<parent-ref />
<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
<portal>
<portal-name>myNewPortal</portal-name> 
<...>

Even better, JBDS may create a myNewPortal.sar (instead of simple war) with all portal stuffs that user generally customized for every portal, like: layouts, themes and so on. (if you agree is this, I can enumerate all required files for this approach...We can discuss this with Thomas too).
So, we would have a completely independent (from JBoss Portal/Admin) portal project that could be easily customized.

> It would be nice if we could create a portal in JBoss Portal directly from JBDS/Tools.
> We could have an option named: 'Create JBoss Portal Project', which included facets like JBoss Portlet and Seam (among others) 
> and created: portlet.xml, portlet-instances.xml and default-object.xml. 
> This option could prompt for a portal name, so we don't need to even define/create the portal in JBoss Portal Admin console. Everything would be done directly from JBDS/Tools.
> Note that option would be slight different from an existing 'JBoss JSF/Seam Portlet' option that doesn't create a portal, only a portal page in an existing portal.
