  LPS-14769	Offline extlet update
  LPS-6341	Ext environment is now available as a plugin
  LPS-5203	Extlet setup
  LPS-16455	Add Ext plugin archetype for Maven
  LPS-9260	The classpath order in Plugins SDK is wrong for the ext-plugin

I would like the Ext Plugin to have the most of the Extlet features.

The simple comparison: http://wiki.github.com/topolik/extlet/extlet-vs-ext-comparison

The main goals (see also my comment (29/Jan/10) of the LPS-6341):

• Ext Plugin should support merge of multiple configuration files
• Intelligent merging of the portal-ext.properties file

The attached extlet-setup is currently for the Liferay CE 5.2.3, it is also available at http://github.com/topolik/extlet/archives/master.

I've extracted the most interesting parts of Extlet into extlet-hot-spots-liferay-6.zip, thus it is easier now to adopt.

[Jorge Ferrer]

This looks great Tomas. Let me know if you need help convincing Brian

BTW, the wiki page you point to seems to be empty.

[Tomáš Polešovský]

Jorge, thanks for your proposal, maybe later I'll ask you for it

You are right, wiki is now at https://github.com/topolik/extlet/wiki/Extlet-vs.-EXT-comparison

Thank you.

Implemented redeploy of Ext Plugin - see LPS-14221

Thank you Cynthia

I'm working on it as part of https://github.com/topolik/Extlet6

Result should be SVN diff patch and JAR patch for Liferay 6.

If you have any improvements that should be in Ext Plugin, please let me know.

Thanks.

I've created patch for 80606 revision - LPS-9442-build-80606.diff.

The core idea - there should be no changes to existing ext plugins, everything is done just by changing portal classes.

In the extlet6.txt (working name) I've very briefly described changes. It's the best I've managed to implement in the time I have.

I'm going to continue with LPS-14221 on https://github.com/topolik/Extlet6 and to create JAR patches for existing 6.0.5 and 6.0.6 versions.

[Tomáš Polešovský]

One more issue - ext-orm.xml cannot be merged - I haven't found out way how to push JPA to load configuration from multiple files from Liferay

Anyway - ext-orm.xml wasn't used (due to missing declaration in portal.properties). So it could make troubles only in case you use JPA + multiple ext plugins.
