Liferay 6.2 Marketplace is a hub for sharing and downloading all Liferay-compatible applications. It acts as an application store—similar to what Play Store is to Google Android phones. Liferay made marketplace a one-stop site for the release and sharing of apps among users. The best part is that small organizations have started developing useful applications for users by paying little or even free of cost. The applications can be easily downloaded through the Liferay site and even through Liferay Portal.
Now, in our example, if the Palm Tree requirement matches one of the applications in Marketplace, then it's easy to use the application rather than building it from scratch. This is similar to what we did in Chapter 6, Blogs, WYSIWYG Editors, and Social Networking, where we downloaded a social networking application. Please refer to Chapter 6, Blogs, WYSIWYG Editors, and Social Networking, to search for an application and install the application in Liferay Portal.
