Description

Third-party portlets (Google, Plumtree RSS and Sun portlets) are not included in Jetspeed-2.0-M2 bundled release, which causes an error when trying to access them after a new install. For instance, in view mode when accessing the Google portlet, this error message is displayed in the portlet window:

Encountered the following problem(s) while attmepting to render portlet fragment: googlePortlet1
Failed to retrieve Portlet Definition for GooglePortlet::GooglePortlet
org.apache.jetspeed.container.window.FailedToRetrievePortletWindow: No PortletEntity exists for for id googlePortlet1 removing window from cache.
Failed to retrieve Portlet Definition for GooglePortlet::GooglePortlet

A similar error ocurrs when running the other two third-party portlet applications.
If you download and install these portlets from their third-party location, the errors go away. My suggestion is to modify the logic in accessing these portlets to alert the user a portlet is missing and notify him/her where to obtain the portlet. Alternatively, you can include the missing third-party portlets in the Jetspeed distribution, but licensing issues may preclude that alternative.
