Thank you for sharing this project. I'm just getting familiar with XMLPortletFactory, but it looks great so far!
Regarding wiki page
How to re-use generated service layer:
(I would have commented there but I don't seem to have permission to add a comment.)
Following the instructions on that page I got compilation errors. I had to add two additional source directories to the service build. Perhaps indexing and permissions were added after that wiki page was created? The updated section of build-common-plugin.xml is below.
Is there any risk / concern about adding these additional files to the service?
1 <path id="service.classpath">
2 <fileset dir="${app.server.lib.global.dir}" includes="*.jar" />
3 <fileset dir="${project.dir}/lib" includes="activation.jar,jsp-api.jar,mail.jar,servlet-api.jar" />
4 <fileset dir="docroot/WEB-INF/lib" excludes="${plugin.name}-service.jar" includes="*.jar" />
