Yes, in fact, this is now the default mechanism in the build process we recommend for doing UI customizations. There have been a few tutorials put together, but for the most part, anything that goes in [dspace-source]/dspace/modules is a web-application overlay and customizations can be maintained there... http://dspace.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dspace/branches/dspace-1_5_x/ dspace/modules/ Cheers, Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark R.
