I did try those steps but nothing seems to be working..
@ Prabhat
I am aware of JBoss Tools for portlet creation.
I did create a dynamic web project and added a portlet facet in Eclipse. In the $GATEIN_HOME/gatein/log folder, I checked out the log file and saw there was a NoClassDefFound error, although in the default catalina.log file I saw that portlet was deployed without any errors..
I am unable to see the portlet in the application registry also. Not understanding what's going wrong!
.war files are to be placed in the webapps directory right?

funkybreizh Sep 16, 2010 11:42 AM (in response to namrata.hangal)I develop portlet under eclipse, with GateIn and tomcat so :
Create a new environment in eclipse pointing on GateIn-Tomcat location.
In your vm arguments launch configuration I have this :
-Dcatalina.base="C:\Users\Juju\Travail\ProgramFiles\GateIn-3.1.0-GA" -Dcatalina.home="C:\Users\Juju\Travail\ProgramFiles\GateIn-3.1.0-GA" -Dwtp.deploy="C:\Users\Travail\ProgramFiles\GateIn-3.1.0-GA\webapps" -Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\Users\Travail\ProgramFiles\GateIn-3.1.0-GA\endorsed" -Dexo.conf.dir="C:\Users\Travail\ProgramFiles\GateIn-3.1.0-GA\gatein\conf" -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dexo.product.developing=true -Dorg.exoplatform.container.configuration.debug -Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\Users\Travail\ProgramFiles\GateIn-3.1.0-GA\conf\jaas.conf
Now run your server, it works!!
For a simple portlet you have many exemple on the internet...

namrata.hangal Oct 5, 2010 2:41 AM (in response to funkybreizh)Thank you Deruere!
I tried including the VM arguments in server configuration, but it didn't work for me, or probably I am doing something wrong! Nevertheless, I would like to know the importance of including these arguments. What purpose do they actually serve?
I could finally deploy a custom portlet in GateIn, but using another way. Following are the steps:
1) Export the Web Portlet Project in Eclipse as a WAR file to the $GATEIN_HOME/webapps folder.
2) Restart GateIn-Tomcat
3) Point the browser to the url http://localhost:8080/portal
4) Login as root (root/gtn)
5) Navigate to the Application Registry
6) In the categories, you should be able to see your Web Portlet Project as a "category"
7) Navigate to Edit Page Layout
8) Add your application to the page
9) Your portlet would have been displayed on the portal home page!

chenyuejie Nov 16, 2010 10:13 PM (in response to funkybreizh)Do we need export prject as a war in the $GATEIN_HOME/webapps folder? It seems Gatein Application Registry can't find the projects added to WTP server started in Eclipse.

7. Re: Gatein-Tomcat bundle: Portlet Development in Eclipse IDE
chenyuejie Nov 17, 2010 3:26 AM (in response to namrata.hangal)Just figured out how to run/debug in Eclipse.
1. run your wtp project in a tomcat server (base a GateIn 3.1 installation)
2. change the server configuration,set Server location to: $GATEIN_HOME, deplopy path to: webapps (if you can modify location, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1012378/eclipse-server-locations-disabled-and-need-to-change-to-use-tomcat-installation)
3. change the run configuration, add below to vm args as Julien Deruère said:
-Dexo.conf.dir="C:\Users\Travail\ProgramFiles\GateIn-3.1.0-GA\gatein\conf" -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dexo.product.developing=true -Dorg.exoplatform.container.configuration.debug -Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\Users\Travail\ProgramFiles\GateIn-3.1.0-GA\conf\jaas.conf
4. re-launch server
5. register application and add portlet to your page in Gatein
6. debug portlet in Eclipse, cheers
