Building your gCube Portlet in ETICS

Build Script

To build portlets in ETICS (and also on development machine) a standard build.xml and build.properties can be used.

build.xml

Please download from here the basic build.xml file. File:Build.xml

build.properties

Please download from here the basic build.properties file. Link

ETICS Configuration

In this page a guide to create an ETICS configuration for a D4Science-II portlet is provided.

Dependencies

In order to simplify portlet's dependencies management a special component has been created: org.gcube.portal.portal-framework. The aim of this component is to:

• decouple portlets from the specific portal implementation (e.g.: gridsphere, liferay,...);
• pull off common dependencies from portlet's configurations (e.g.: gwt, gcube-widgets);
• provide an environment to compile portlet;

All portlets should express a dependency on org.gcube.portal.portal-framework

portal-framework details

At the moment, org.gcube.portal.portal-framework provide portlets that express it as dependency with:

• a PORTAL_HOME env variable that point to actual location on filesystem of portal libraries;
• a GWT_HOME anv variable that point to actual location of gwt installation directory;
• gwt dependency;
• liferay dependency;
• gcube-widgets-library dependency;
