VMware instances would help newbies / evaluation process

[jimisola]

Hi,

I've haven't been able to find VMware instances of recent JBoss Portal versions. Are there any for 2.4 or, better yet, 2.6 alpha?

The only one I found was "Complete JBoss/Eclipse Integrated Development Environment" (http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/362).

It would be very helpful if VMware instances of JBoss Portal (for use with VMPlayer) were made available.

A VMware instance would easy the process of evaluating JBoss Portal and JBoss AS a lot. Hopefully, that would result in more users as more people will try it out.

Regards,
Jimisola

Did you try the Portal + AS bundle version ? It contains all you need (Portal, AS and database) and will run on any OS with a JVM installed.

Basically you just need to download the package, unzip it and run bin/run.sh or bin/run.bat.

No, I did not do that. That would of course be sufficient for evaluation.

Sorry for taking your time.

I unpacked the bundle and started it. The pages render OK, but when I browse to the admin site and log in, what is supposed to be the top-right portal says:

An error occured while rendering window 'default.Admin.ManagementPortletWindow'
