Q:

Lightweight portal server for WebSphere Portal development?

I'm doing some portlet development for IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1.  However, the deployment process is painfully slow.  As this is my first time doing portlet development, I'm not too familiar with the various portal servers out there.  I'd like some recommendations for a lightweight portal server on which I can deploy quickly for development.

A:

Pluto is the answer!

I'm very happy now. :)

A:

I believe Liferay has become Sun's adopted strategy, if that has any bearing.
