Following is a simple way to create a portlet with the JBossForge Tool:
1) Start the forge

[no project] portlet-demo $
2) Install portlet-plugin
The Portlet plugin is not yet listed in the Forge plugin repository. You need to use the git url to install it. In Forge type:
forge git-plugin git://github.com/jerr/plugin-portlet.git
That’s it! The plugin will be downloaded and installed.
3) Setting up a portlet project
From the forge prompt, create a new project and install the PortletFacet. This sets up your pom.xml.
new-project --named HelloForge --topLevelPackage org.demo
portlet setup
4) Generating a simple portlet
Once the Facet is installed, you can create new portlet.
portlet new-portlet --named HelloPortlet
5) Building the war archive
Using maven we compile and package the web archive
mvn install
5) Deploy it
If you used GateIn, add the new archive in the deployment directory. Via the admin page, import the portlet and add it in a page.
Here is the result.
