Portal Pack For Eclipse

I have started the Eclipse Portalpack project and is currently hosted at Eclipse Portalpack

This is a set of plugins that currently help a developer write JSR-168 Portlet Applications using the Eclipse version 3.2+ of the IDE.

Currently it has two plugins.
One is a plugin that allows you to create Portlet Projects using a wizard based approach. One can add new portlets using the context menus that appear once the project has been created. Automatic Ant build file is created to build the project, as and when you add new portlets to the project, the portlet.xml file is automatically updated for you.

Second plugin registers the Open Source Portlet Container as a server runtime in Eclipse. Right now you can start/stop the container from within Eclipse. But with time features to deploy/undeploy portlet projects to the Open Source Portlet Container will also be added to this project.

 I uploaded the source code for the plugin today. If you are an Eclipse fan like me, please check it out and contribute to the project if you like it.
