RHEL5 Java 1.4/Java5 switch

By default, RHEL5 comes with Java 1.4. How to switch to Java5:

Java5 got installed at /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_16. Then do the following:

/usr/sbin/alternatives –install /usr/bin/java java /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_16/bin/java 100

[root@wpprdwf ~]# /usr/sbin/alternatives –config java

There are 2 programs which provide ‘java’.

Selection    Command
———————————————–
*+ 1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
2           /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_16/bin/java

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2
[root@wpprdwf ~]# java -version
java version “1.5.0_16″

Maven repository / JAR

The JAR file ‘oracle-portlet-tags.jar’ can’t be found in maven repository.

The following can be done to work around the above issue:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=oracle-portlet-tags.jar -DgroupId=oPortal -D
artifactId=oracle-portlet-tags.jar -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

In pom.xml file, add the following entries under ‘dependencies’ tag:

<dependency>
<groupId>oPortal</groupId>
<artifactId>oracle-portlet-tags</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency

Issue solved.

Spring + Portlet + HelloWorld

ref: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0802_patil-pt1/0802_patil-pt1.html

Thanks to the above URL, I finally am able to get my first Hello World Portlet to work, using Eclipse + Spring + OC4J 10.1.3.3 + Portal 10.1.4.

eclipse + maven + plug-in

Keeps getting the following message and lots of errors after that in eclipse, and it complains about a missing file settings.xml:

Repository ‘central’ will be blacklisted

It turns out I have to manually create this file at: ‘C:Documents and Settingshxwu.m2′  and put proxy information in it:
