I'm starting to learn some portlet development. I'm wondering if there are any good (preferably recent since many of the guides I saw date back a few years) Hello Portlet or beginners guides. I have eclipse set up but I'm not sure what plugins/libraries/etc I need to start developing portlets for a Tomcat server.
Any help would be appreciated!
Liferay Portal (open source portal) has a set of eclipse plugins called Liferay IDE. If you set it up and also setup a Liferay Plugin SDK (zip download), then use the New Liferay Project wizard after installing the Liferay IDE plugins you will have everything you need. You can see the Liferay IDE Getting Started guide for how to deploy your first portlet to Liferay.
