Thanks Peter,
Yep, that would have been easy to do:)  But, I wanted to know if there was a 
documented way to do this kind of configuration in some properties file 
somewhere instead of modifying the actual build scripts.

The reason I ask is because I'd like to use JBoss Portal to build and customize 
a portal product for customers.  So I can take two approaches, each with its 
pros/cons:

1) The binary build comes with a lot of stuff I don't need.  So I'd have to 
unpack the build, strip out unnecessary things as well as do a search-replace 
in several files to customize the product (i.e. to change the context name, 
output sar name, add/modify themes, etc), and then repack the build.

2) I can build from source, but that also requires modifying various files to 
fit my customization needs.  I don't mind changing property files, but I'd 
prefer not touching the original JBoss build scripts which most likely can 
change between releases.

So ideally, I'd like to build some automation tools that can just take the 
binary/source download and customize the simple things as needed for various 
customers.  But the current Portal downloads don't quite make this easy to do 
since there isn't a centralized set of files that would make at least the 
simple customizations easier.

Also, there isn't a clear separation between the core necessary components of 
JBoss Portal, and what is extra (i.e. administration component).  It would be 
good if there were separate downloads for the core and the "bundled" portal 
package.

I understand though that JBoss Portal is currently work in progress:)
