Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-17112:
-------------------------------------

So basically, adding the Portlet Facet fails here because the Web Facet has not been added.

There are multiple problems here, some on the gatein projects side, some on the m2e/portlet integration side :

*m2e/portlet integration* : 
* should not try to add the Portlet Facet if the Web Facet is not installed. 
* errors should not pop up to the UI, but should be converted to error markers instead

*gatein projects* :
* Web Facet is not installed because projects use web.xml 3.0 AND maven-compiler-plugin configuration is overridden to use 1.5. Since Web 3.0 requires 1.6, the constraint is not met, the Facet can't be installed. Why do you need to downgrade the java version in the first place? If you *really* *really* do need to (remember even 1.6 is EOL'ed), then you should  also downgrade the web.xml version to 2.5 
* I have several projects not compiling because of missing jdom:jdom:1.1.1 (jboss and exo repositories are configured). Where is it supposed to come from?
* Some JSPs don't compile in eclipse, because dependencies have not been added to the pom (jsp-api, exo apis...). I understand they're not required to compile the java classes, but if you want to have your projects error-free in eclipse, you *need* to add the required deps to your war projects.

> When trying to import "GateIn Portal" as an "Existing Maven Project" in JBoss Developer Studio Beta with EAP, I see an error dialog with two messages:
> - "JBoss Core Portlet 2.0 requires Java 1.5 or newer"
> - "JBoss Core Portlet 2.0 requires Dynamic Web Module 2.5 or newer"
> Steps to reproduce:
> - Install JBoss Developer Studio with EAP
> - Import "Existing Maven Project", selecting the root of the GateIn clone (ex: https://github.com/jpkrohling/gatein-portal)
