Description Vince Kraemer 2007-07-16 21:33:45 UTC 
If a user installs stuff as root, the directions here:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/sdk_nbportletplugin/#14

do not work.

This is "Snag 4" described in this archived message:

It's a known fact that both SDK server and Plug-in should be installed either as root or as a local user due to some
restrictions. This information needs to go into doc.
Comment 2 Satyaranjan D 2007-08-02 08:50:50 UTC 
This will be added as a limitation in Doc.
Comment 3 Satyaranjan D 2007-08-02 08:52:58 UTC 
This is a doc bug and will go into release notes.
