uPortal 2.5.x also had to create a uPortal specific patch of xalan 2.6,
in order to fix a critical memory leak (if I remember correctly). While
that got us by, it was never the desired approach to have a patched
version of the xalan libraries.
I believe even with the problems with netbeans, xalan 2.7 is a better
library for uPortal 2.6.0 to use.

Timothy,
I hear your pain, and hope that by welcoming a couple Netbeans users
closer into the cadre of uPortal developers understanding and support
for using the IDE will improve.
However, I think there are important ways in which the Xalan 2.7.0
requirement is a feature rather than an impediment - uPortal is very
XML/XSLT heavy. Adopting the latest and greatest mainstream XML
libraries we can is a sound move.
I'd suggest that this issue not impede 2.6.0 GA and become instead a
follow-on issue, likely one addressed by better doco on how to develop
uPortal using various IDEs.
What happened to the work-around of using two JDKs, one to run the IDE
and another to build/run uPortal?

the only major impediment that i see is the xalan 2.7.0 requirement.
it is a problem for those of us using netbeans for development
there may be a work-around, but i have yet to find one that is
desirable...

uPortal developers,
I write to call the question of releasing uPortal 2.6.0 general
audience <http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/2.6.0>, the further
incremental improvement on the available RC2
<http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/2.6.0+RC2>, as staged in SVN as
https://www.ja-sig.org/svn/up2/tags/rel-2-6-0-GA/
Releasing 2.6.0 GA creates a maintenance branch for
backwards-compatible patches towards 2.6.1, 2.6.2, etc. and frees the
HEAD for evolutionary work.
With Eric's recent burst of activity to tie off niggling remaining
issues, I think we've gotten what we're going to get out of an RC
series on this and need to put this binary out there and start work
towards a 2.6.1 etc.
+1 to release 2.6.0 GA.
Andrew
