  1. Download the most current version using Subversion: 
    svn export https://www.ja-sig.org/svn/portlets/AnnouncementsPortlet/trunk announcements-portlet
  2. Make sure you have Maven2 installed and that you can run the following command from your command line: 
    mvn -version
  3. If you're using uPortal 3.0, or if you know that your portal provides jQuery in the global namespace, skip this step; otherwise, you need to set the javascript.jQuery.include property in src/main/resources/configuration.properties to true. This enables the Ajax features of the Topic Management screen.
  4. If you are only testing the portlet, skip this step; otherwise, edit the datasource.properties file to reflect your database settings and add your JDBC driver to the pom.xml.
  5. In the announcements-portlet directory, run 
    mvn package
  6. Once the project is built, you'll have a file called Announcements.war in the target directory.
  7. Deploy the portlet by running 
    ant deployPortletApp -DportletApp=/path/to/Announcements.war
    ...in the uPortal source directory on your target server.
  8. Add the two portlets to your portal:
    • uPortal 2.5.x and 2.6.x format:
      • Announcements.AnnouncementsDisplay
      • Announcements.AnnouncementsAdmin
    • uPortal 3 format:
      • Portlet Web Application Path: /Announcements
        Portlet Name: AnnouncementsDisplay
      • Portlet Web Application Path: /Announcements
        Portlet Name: AnnouncementsAdmin
  9. Restart Tomcat if you get any fussiness from the portlet.  If you have issues, ask us on the portlet-dev mailing list.
