The deployPortletApp task fails if http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/pluto/tags/pluto-1.1.1/pluto-taglib/src/main/resources/META-INF/portlet.tld is not accessible for any reason. This causes dependent tasks such as initportal to fail as well.

The failure may look something like this:

C:\temp\uPortal>ant deployPortletApp -DportletApp=helloworld.war

Buildfile: build.xml

compile:
