Step 1: Get ant (Ant is included in JBoss Portal and Eclipse. Otherwise, you can download it from apache.org).

Step 2 (Optional step): Set path to ant. My path is /opt/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.7.0.v200803061910/bin. But you can find ant at $PORTAL_HOME/tools/bin

Step 3: Run ant using the targets in build.xml. If you don't specify a target, then the default target will be used.

Thank you for your answer. Can you please explain Step 3.

What's the command on shell for my portlet?

Refer to apache ant's build file specification at www.apache.org. Keep in mind that Eclipse uses apache ant. Therefore, you could build using Eclipse if you provide Eclipse with the proper dependencies. (You can even make a new ant build project using Eclipse.)

Read the portlet specification, JBoss Portal Documentation, and the author's documentation.
