Migrate portlets deployed on Liferay to WebCenter

Question

Is there a way to convert a JSR-168 portlet WSRP portlet so that it can be deployed on WebCenter?
The latest version of JDeveloper (11.1.2) supports importing of Maven projects but it does not support creation of WebCenter Applications.
The Version 11.1.1.5 of JDeveloper Supports WebCenter Application creation but we were unable to import a maven project. We Want to port our portlets (JSR 168) running on liferay to WebCenter.
Any hints on same would be helpful.
Thanks

I tell this also in all my courses I give.
Standards are good but in the end when you migrate from one system to another, you almost always end up with rewriting the whole app...
Most of the time you are interacting with the portal itself from within your portlet which completly removes the idea of loose coupling between portlet and portal.
Then there is the JSR168 standard. If you are using inter portlet communication then you are using some special technique owned by the portal which measn that it cannot be migrated.
Another thing is security. WebCenter does not work according the JEE roles which means that if you have defined security in your portlets in Liferay and used security, it will not work in webcenter unless you use WS-Security and configure quite a lot of mapping and security stores.
SO as you can see, standards are good and well but in the end they are more a pain in the ....
