What's new

Sun and Liferay will release products that are derived from a common codebase.

About the initiative

The Sun/Liferay initiative combines efforts and technologies from both company's communities to enhance and maintain web aggregation and presentation technologies that are utilized in existing and future products. Liferay Portal 5 and Sun's Project Web Synergy are the first version of the new product families that are a result of this initiative and derived from the same codebase.

The common codebase will be managed by the Liferay community with Sun as a committer and governance board member of the project. Over the past 6 months, Sun and Liferay have worked together to incorporate Sun's OpenPortal Portlet Container 2.0 (JSR286), Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP), and JSF Portlet Bridge projects into Liferay Portal. Over time, Liferay Portal will incorporate additional OpenPortal technologies such as Mirage CMS, Simple API for Workflow (SAW), and other projects that Sun and Liferay are planning.
