With JSR-286 final and Websphere (6.1) among many others now supporting it, it is critical that the tools be upgraded now. What are your plans for JSR-286, and/or what can be done to accelerate (even in early release) integrated support for JSR-286? Note that RAD 7.5 currently has this support making this request all the more urgent.

Thanks in advance,

mfkilgore,
I'll make a note of this as a feature request and keep you updated on the progress of this issue.

Nipun,

Thank you, I know you just had a release and we are heading into the holidays, please do keep me informed on any progress on this. Related, would you happen to know if the eclipse-portalpack plugin (https://eclipse-portalpack.dev.java.net) is compatible with myeclipse? Based on past experience with plugins and knowing that this plugin probably relies on and extends a standard eclipse default project, I would guess no. This plugin may be a good place for your integration efforts to start...

Nipun,

I am looking at 7.5 M1 and it looks very good. The support for integrating/sharing RAD projects (no more migration) is a very critical addition. What I did not see, and hope that I simply missed it, is support for JSR 286 portlet development. Without that I will be stuck in the RAD environment going forward for some time... I am hoping that either I missed this feature or it will be released in 7.5 final. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Is there any update on this topic specifically support for 286 portlets in websphere? Maybe something to look forward to in the upcoming 8.0 release?

mfkilgore,

I will have to clarify this with the dev team members. I will get back to you on this.

Im afraid support for 286 portlets in websphere is not coming in 8.0 (too much other stuff to do) but it's very important to us for 8.0++ for Blue. Thank you for your patience.

Nipun, Can you update me on this topic. Is there 286 portlet support in the new 8.5? I will happily reload my version of Blue if this is the case.

thanks,

Hi,

Yes, 286 portlet support is available on ME Blue 8.5. Please give it a shot.

Best.
