It's a humbling reminder that Java, AJAX, and the latest Saturday Night Live skits aren't on Time's list of ten ideas changing the world right now. Sure, no one doubts that technology (and...

Alot of people seem to have problems deploying custom plugins to liferay. I admit that deployment can be a little tricky. First off, Liferay has a naming convention which is more than just a naming...

New to the next release of 5.1 and 5.2 are more streamlined templates. We’ve condensed all the includes and some code into 2 includes to cut the confusion and the clutter. Though a small update, I...

Wouldn't that be a hoot? But how do we do that? Simple, we use AOP (Apsect Oriented Programming). Ok, you tried that but couldn't make it work with Liferay. Well, that's what this particular post...

This is not a blog, it is a microblog! I just came here to show this simple and very cool feature, at least for me, the dependency management on deployment time. A little of context: The dependency...

Everyone these days is thinking about the economy and how to hold on to their cash in what seems to be the worst downturn of the last 60 years. Open source vendors that had for the last 24 months...

As most readers will probably know, one of the most powerful characteristics of Liferay's portlets is the fact that when they are added to different communities or organizations (whenever I use the...

Julio Camarero | Feb 19, 2009 6:05 PM

Hi there! As you may have already seen, the user/organization administration in Liferay 5.2 has been completely redesigned. The new interface is, in my opinion, clearer, nicer and much more usable,...

Perhaps as a secondary title I should put: "Why is every Liferay plugin writtin in plain old JSP?". There is a very big trend toward wanting to build portlets using some form of fancy framework. It...

When Brian Chan first started working on Liferay in 2000, one of the immediate goals was to use Liferay to build a public website for his church. Of course, as a portal-based website, it would have...
