Hi,

Could you clarify what you mean by "integrate JPA for Liferay backend services?" For example, would this mean Liferay tables are now accessible as JPA POJOs?

Michael C. Han

Currently Liferay uses Hibernate which is pre-JPA specification. We would like to implement a persistence layer than can use JPA standard mechanisms rather than Hibernate for potential deployment on other JPA implementations.

Any upcoming blogs about the new hook features?
Great!

What do you mean by "Transistion all UI components over to YUI"? Are you replacing jquery UI?

I would like to see ;

- Survey / Questionare Manager
- Forms Manager / Form Builder with supporting JBPM workflow
- Employee Directory / People search supporting LDAP or AD ( employee info must created from HR department but employee can update their info based security settings as well )
- Meeting Room Booking
- Show absent employee front of portal ( get employee vacation / absent information from outlook )
- Acronym Manager ( show industry / company related terms and definitions )

in Liferay next major release. Thanks,

It would be nice to have well-known thread to suggest an discuss possible features and an associated WikiPage to solidify concepts. Is there something like this? It should be a thread that doesn't get lost in the hay.

There is a whole category called "7. Suggestions and Feature Requests" (
http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/forums/-/message_boards/category/110­8052). Silly me! The associated WikiPage would still be nice. Is there a simple way to associate resources? Have a link from one resource to others in the same subject. Maybe a "related stuff" portlet?

We're really looking forward to 5.3, it seems to integrate a lot of bugfixes that are long awaited.

So, are there any concrete plans as to when it'll be released?

Ryan Terwedo

Instead of tasks and contact management, why dont you just integrate with another open source CRM like sugar? Why re invent the wheel??

Dmitry Babain

How does the Alloy UI fit into the picture?

Daniel Reuther

Oh interesting , When we can use this version..?

Dennis Greiffenberg

It would be good to have a bit more information on the various points. Is this information already available somewhere? Also I'd also be interested in a new release date. As per this Roadmap it's January, 1st. Since this site is the "official" place to look for it would be great if this could be updated in a reasonable fashion.

Thanks,
Dennis

Thank you.

How will "maven 2 artefact publication" will be made ?
I don't see any pom.xml on the trunk ...

Just posting liferay's jars/wars/ears will not really be useful if transitive dependencies are not specified :-(

Institut Straumann
3/2/10 12:30 AM

Any news about the CE release date?
6.0 CE: 2/16/2010

Will the delay affect the announced EE release date?
6.0 EE: 4/16/2010

4/17/10 6:17 AM

Looks like it did.. emoticon

Institut Straumann
4/19/10 2:19 AM

Yes unfortunately it did.

Reliability is an important criterion for us and should not only affect the stability of the system but also statements and planning.

We are talking about the EE software we pay for!

Is Oracle still committed to co-developing Liferay ??
Is it one of the reason for the slipping release date ?

5/23/10 3:46 PM

As much as I like Liferay... this article is embarrasing for the project.
Why doesn't it get any updates or at least a single comment from an employee? What about the features that are mentioned are they up to date? I specifically want to know: do we really get CalDAV?

Aniceto P Madrid
5/24/10 10:06 AM

Is there any roadmap update for the Liferay 6 release. We are still in RC1 on 5/24/2010, there is no download available for Liferay IDE and there are no blog entries about any of them.
