New WebLogic Portal release, but Plumtree still not integrated

Earlier this week BEA announced a major new release to its WebLogic Portal offering. Version 9.2 introduces a new community framework, new portal life cycle management capabilities and support for the Eclipse open-source application development platform. As Enterprise Portal Report readers know, BEA WebLogic Portal runs only on BEA's very own WebLogic application server. This release brings the portal up to speed with version 9 of the application server which was released in August 2005. This may seem a long wait for faithful WebLogic customers, who can now finally upgrade their portal. Existing users of the Plumtree portal product (acquired by BEA in 2005, now rebranded to AquaLogic) will have to wait even longer "because BEA is still converging the technologies" according to a BEA representative. The migration to a joint release will be a signficant issue for licensees of both products.
