I'm -1 WRT rolling a framework for it, with basically your arguments.

I just wanted to point that, in case pluto wants to use something beyond
a controller portlet, the portals-bridges module
( http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/bridges/trunk/ ) offers
several possibilities: velocity, struts, jsf, perl, php and soon python.

This code is (if it isn't, it should be) completely free of dependencies
in jetspeed, just portlet-api, and is devoted to implementing frameworks
for portlet development using web technologies, such as Faces, Struts,
etc. Most bridges have little code, just enough to offer basic JSR-168
services to other technologies' developers.

As the current policy in the Apache Portals project is to grant commit
rights to the whole project, any pluto committer has rights to commit
there.

What do you think?
