Wherein I write about stuff that I find interesting. Most of entries will probably be technology related (Java, Web development, Python, Flex, etc.). But I will also write about: my adventures in homeschooling and parenting, reviews of books I've read, and anything else I've learned or seen that I think is cool enough to share.

Pluto Server Plug-in Screencast Posted
Just finished the screencast promised for the Pluto Server Plug-in. It's fairly simple, goes through installing the plug-in and then creating a simple "hello world" type portlet and deploying and displaying it in Pluto.
Unfortunately, the size of the screencast, produced with Wink, comes it at a little over 10MB. I need to figure out how to keep these guys from getting so bloated. Using color palette now, has reduced the file size to just under 5MB.

Your a beautiful person for this
How can I help?? I use this almost
everyday
How do you want to help? I'll welcome patches, documentation, whatever. I plan on getting the project hosted on google code at some point.
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm not sure because I'm new to this opensource stuff. But I have a wide
knowledge base I technically program in java and php. everything else I know is "automated knowledge" that I have looked up. Just assign me so small tasks to start of and lets let it grow from there.
I do have a website

Hi, i watched your demo of pluto server plug-in but i can't run the portlet. when i try to run the pluto server, i always get a "Could not publish to the server.
java.lang.NullPointerException" error message. In spite of the exception the pluto server runs normally and i can open the portal. In the portal i can see apache pluto portal driver and pluto test suit but there is no hello world portlet. the video is excellent but i'm a newbie on portlets and i don't get some steps, for example:
1- when you right-click on the server to run, i can't see which menu item you've selected.
2- i can't see the start bar so it's not clear which window you are working on.
and finally do i need to install maven? because i can't see maven instructions on the console while i'm trying to run the server.
thanks in advance...
Hello,
I have installed your plug-in for eclipse and I watched your screen cast. All went very well until I went to publish my servlet. When I select "publish" the server starts up just fine but when the plug-in tries to publish the portlet I get a "null pointer" error and the plug-in stops.
I have maven 2 installed with the maven-ant tasks and the maven-pluto -ant tasks available. Can you help me to get past this error?
Thanks!
Hi Marcus,
The idea of this project is realy great! Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. I get the same error as alp aykut reported earlier: "Could not publish to the server.
java.lang.NullPointerException".
How can I fix it?
