Forum .LRN Q&A: Re: portlet applet package

if i may , i just wanted to ask if there is any way of checking the dotlrn-blah package out in dotlrn before blah-portlet is implemenetd, or is there no way to see if the package actually does what its supposed to until the second package is mounted.

i just want to see if the pacakge is correct in terms of following the architecture.

thanks in advance
