LS, I am using the Binary (derby) distribution of J2-Final. I downloaded some sample portlets from the sun site and deployed them by dropping the war file in de deploy directory and all messages are OK.
When I wanted to put the portlets on a page they only appeared as complete blank lines in the portlet list. I've checked the portlet.xml provided and that showed that no <display-name> and <description> was set in the portlet.xml and only those are shown in the portlet list. Maybe it is an idea to also include the uniquename or some other required field in the portlet list to be able to identify the portlets. Kind regards, Herman Reintke
