About
uPortal is the leading open source enterprise portal framework built by and for
the higher education community. uPortal continues to evolve through
contributions from its global community and is supported by resources, grants,
donations, and memberships fees from academic institutions, commercial
affiliates, and non-profit foundations. uPortal is built on open standards-based
technologies such as Java and XML, and enables easy, standards-based integration

uPortal-start
uPortal is now meant to be deployed via uPortal-start, which is responsible for
servlet container (ie Tomcat), DB, and portal configurations. uPortal-start
deals with the low-level configurations and setup, while letting the adopter
focus on the business configuration side of the deployment. However, it is
possible to run uPortal without uPortal-start. The uPortal manual explains
how.
Building and Deploying
uPortal uses Gradle for its project configuration and build system. uPortal
comes with a Gradle wrapper if you don't want to install the build tool
(./gradlew
in the root directory of the repo).
Gradle tasks
For a full list of Gradle tasks run ./gradlew tasks
from the root directory.
