Sun Portal will beat Liferay, eXo and JBoss
Wait .. I didn't say it. This blogger did 
But I think he is absolutely right. Stability, scalability, support etc have always been our strong points. And these features seem to be lacking in the open source portal arena.
What we are trying to do today is to combine the advantages of open source with the security and stability of commercial software.
So watch out Liferay, eXo and JBoss

Goodbye Ant , Welcome Maven 2
After years of using Ant for building my applications, I have moved to something different, Apache Maven 2.
And now it seems there is no looking back. Maven has been doing a great job and I have no complaints. If you haven't tried out Maven yet, I urge you to. Truth is, you will not understand why you need Maven until you start using it.
My only gripe with Maven is that it does not understand the Java Blueprints structure out-of-the-box. I think it should. It will make lives easier for a lot more Java developers.
Incidentally, the Open Source Portlet Repository project uses Maven 2.

The Mashup is the Portal ?
How would portals of the future look like ? Would they still have neatly aligned little windows ? Or will it all be mashed up ?
I wonder ...
