Great news Eric!
Looking forward to kicking the tires.

Well the pluto 2 branch is finally at the point where portlets are
generally functional. There are still things missing (like an error
display if a portlet throws an exception) as well as most of the more
complex JSR-286 features need work. With that said I think I'd like to
start working on merging the pluto 2 branch into trunk next week. I
would do the merge locally and get the changes moved into SVN in a
single commit. I just want to make sure I'm not stepping on other
developers toes when I do this though.
Here is a list of changes as well as issues I know about:
* Pluto 2 integration, which means JSR-286 support!
* Channels don't work anymore!
* JSR-286 events, public parameters, URL properties and a few other
things don't actually work yet
* Upgraded to Spring 3.0
* Switched to @Autowired as much as possible, the spring context
files are MUCH smaller now
* Consistent portal URLs have been implemented:
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/Consistent+Portal+URLs
* The new URL syntax means that the portal context is the last
folder in the path. The CSS/JS/Image URLs in the theme have all
been fixed but all of the JavaScript callbacks have not. That
means very little of the dynamic UI will work until we go through
and get those URLs updated so they are always absolute.
* No CError replacement yet. This means if an exception is thrown
while a portlet is rendering there will be no content for that
portlet. If an exception is thrown during an action I think you
just get a blank page. Exceptions are logged plus hitting refresh
actually does re-render everything on the page.
* Lots of missing content in the default layout. A lot of our
default content was still channel based, none of that renders
anymore since channels don't work.
Very little code has been removed yet. I wanted to wait until after the
merge back to trunk was complete and the Pluto 2 integration was better
flushed out. So while things like ChannelManager and ChannelRenderer are
still in the code they are not used anymore. Once we get the Pluto 2
integration more stable we can start going through and essentially
removing anything with "channel" in the class name (or at least that's
the hope).
So I'll be starting on this merging locally in the next few days, it
will be at least a week before I have something ready to actually commit
to trunk. If I hear objections before then we'll get them addressed, if
not I'll post again when the merge happens!
-Eric
