JavaServer™ Faces (JSF) is one of the standards developed under the Java Community Process (JCP) and was first introduced with Java EE 1.4. The first version of JSF had its share of proponents, but also had its share of criticism. Over the years it has been continuously improved by JCP Expert Groups (EGs) and extended by 3rd-party libraries like PrimeFaces, ICEfaces, RichFaces,...

On August 3, 2015 the JCP Executive Committee approved the ballot for starting JSR 378: Portlet 3.0 Bridge for JavaServer™ Faces 2.2. This is the first time that Liferay will be leading a JSR and as the Spec Lead I will be heading up the stewardship role. Liferay will also be represented by Vernon Singleton, Juan Gonzalez, and Kyle Stiemann as members of the Expert Group. ...

Looking at Liferay 7 Milestone 7 download stats, it seams many have tried it already. Yet considering the size of the community, the numbers are not that impressive. I'm pretty sure it's not because it's too hard or too time consuming to do it. However if that was your excuse, you may need to think of another one because trying out Liferay just got easier. How much easier? As easy as...

This will be the last milestone release of the series. Yup, you’ve heard right; the next release will be our first alpha release already.

My wife has always given me a great amount of grief when it comes to doing even small improvement projects around the house. Almost always, I see the opportunity to get something else done "while we're at it." "Going to be doing some drywall? This is the perfect time to get some extra insulation in that wall." "While we're at it, I don't like the wiring back in here. We need to redo...

Recently, my company was a sponsor at the Red Hat Summit, a large open source technology event with 5,000+ attendees and 80+ exhibitors. We knew a conference of this size would be overwhelming and make it difficult for us to be noticed. But we had a plan to leverage a big announcement as the main attraction of our booth. If you’re looking to create buzz around a big announcement...

Those of you who were following the Frontend trends the last two years, would know that there was a big movement toward the next version of JavaScript, previously know as ES6 and now as ECMAScript 2015 (ES2015). If you just want to know what is this blog post about, here it is - writing ES2015 and loading JS modules as specified in the standard, as well as installing and using...

Here is a video, which Jose Manuel, the lead of Liferay...

Last month, I attended BizBash LA. As an event planner, I rarely get to enjoy events from an attendee’s point of view, so this was a great experience for me. Even though I was an attendee, I couldn’t help but revert back to my planner tendencies of directing traffic and ushering people into seats. Based on the smiles I got from others, I think they could easily relate. After...

A little while back, I gave a presentation on a new command line tool that the tooling team was hoping to create to help ease development for Liferay. While we were able to get a working prototype for demonstration purposes we quickly realized that the project would never succeed with the current state of Liferay. The issue was that all of our tools required a bundle of Liferay....

I've been having an ongoing 'discussion' with a good friend of mine about the nature of open source and what constitutes open source. It makes me want to turn it into a proper noun, Open Source, because his interpretation seems to me to be quite purist. In a kinda 1999, utopianist way which is very specific. His argument (did I say argument?) is that unless it...

Together with the summer season and the sunny days the sixth milestone has come too. We are getting closer to the end of the year, and this will be one of the last milestones so all development teams are working on finishing some of the features and improvements that have been months in the works to get everything ready for the alpha/beta cycles. This milestone comes very shortly...
