Welcome to the JBoss Portal Quickstart tutorial. In this tutorial, you will:

- Download and unzip the JBoss Portal bundle
- Execute the JBoss Portal
- Interact with the default portal
- Create and edit content in the JBoss Portal
- Manage the JBoss Portal
- Add a new portlet to the JBoss Portal

Before we get started, a couple of notes about this tutorial:

- For those that are not familiar with portals or portlets, please start with this article on portals: http://java.sys-con.com/read/131819.htm
- This guide is not intended to show all of the features of JBoss Portal. The intention is to show how to use the basic functionality of JBoss Portal. There is also a user guide and reference guide that will assist you with further use of JBoss Portal.
- This guide was created with JBoss Portal 2.6.2. This guide is expected to be forward compatible with future versions of Portal (although the screenshots may vary slightly).
- JBoss Portal is platform independent, but this guide was developed using a Linux-based platform. This guide should work equally well for Unix/Linux/Windows installations because JBoss Portal is 100% Pure Java. Obviously, you may need use the run.bat instead of run.sh and use forward slashes instead of backslashes, etc.
