RE: [exoplatform] How to run it all?

["Matthias Klein" <matthias@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Benjamin, for your speedy reply.

So I get what I want by simply downloading the ECM-Bundle? So the "ECM 1.0
Final" ZIP-file contains the Portlet Container 1.3 and JCR 1.0 and Portal
1.1.3? And they are all bundled with Tomcat? And I can also deploy XWiki and
my own JSR-168 portlets in there? Even if my portlet relies on MyFaces?

If so - why do you then offer a "Portal" bundle and a "Portlet Container"
bundle and a "JCR" bundle separately? 

When I first visited your site I expected to find one core bundle (your
platform or portal or whatever you want to call it, bundled in Tomcat or
Jboss or whatever container)
And then I expected to find a list of "modules" that I could plug into that
core system.

Like: I download the core bundle and if I want PC, I download and deploy PC.
If I want ECM, I download and deploy ECM. And so on.

But it seems as if all your downloads are bundles - but none of them is
complete (as in "offering the last versions of all modules you produce")

I think that's what confuses quite a few people here - thus the recurrence
of this "how to run it all" question. May be some FAQ would help?


I understand that you can't provide documentation for all 3PDs. But IMO
XWiki and some good Message Board system might have a different status than
"any" 3PD as they are so essential pieces of most portal projects.

So by providing that information you'd increase the usefulness of eXo - it's
in your interest, too.

Thanks

Matt

P.S. Is it just me or was exoplatform.com not overly available throughout
the past 2 weeks? I kept getting "server not found" messages - usually a few
minutes later everything worked fine.

Each piece can run independently, so you do not need to assemble the  
portal and ecm, when you get the ECM distribution the portal is  
already bundled

Same the Portal bundle the portlet container and therefore the ecm  
bundle the portlet container too

the smaller project like PC or JCR are released for people that would  
like to use those without portal or ecm

each 3PD as its own doc, difficult for us to provide doc for all  
those tools
