Sun Portal goes open source

17-May-2006

According to a Sun employee blog the company has decided to put Sun Portal into open source. A new open source portlet repository will be developed and seeded with JSR-168 compliant portlets. The new project has its own website, which should be interesting to follow. At JavaOne, the annual Java conference, Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz promised to make Java open-source code. "It's not a question of whether, but a question of how." Other commentators have pointed out that key questions remain unanswered. As readers of the Enterprise Portals Report know, Sun Portal (which is already free of charge) has seen comparatively limited adoption worldwide and is somewhat feature-poor beyond collaboration services. Will a fresh brush of open source win over the masses?
