mvn clean install the project. Copy .jar file to lib in tomcat bundled with GateIn-3.1.0-GA. Run bin/gatein.sh to see the DumbJob to be executed on the terminal when portal containers are initialized. Please look at the terminal to see the log message of DumbJob.

From now on, you can easily create any job to be executed in GateIn's portal by defining your job and configuring it.
