Getting Started

Install lazyportal like any other Ruby gem:

$ gem install lazyportal

In your project directory, type:

$ lazy

This will cause lazyportal to generate a Rakefile in that same directory (or append an existing Rakefile if you already have one). This new Rakefile loads a suite of nifty rake tasks that can be used immediately in your uPortal skinning & theming endeavors (and Liferay, too).

Tasks

To start and stop tomcat, for example, type:

$ rake start

And:

$ rake stop

To list all available tasks along with brief descriptions (rake equivalent to ant -p):

$ rake -T

If you need to run a uPortal ant task, make sure to be really lazy when you do it:

$ rake initportal
