I have the latest cvs from nov 26, have built successfully, and get the welcome page listing the portlets.
So far so good, and the architecture (what I understand so far) looks great.
My only problem is that I can't find in Jetspeed2 the mechanisms I use to control layout in Jetspeed.
I found the VerySimpleLayoutValve code and that seems to handle footer, header.


There is a new Page model in J2 replacing PSML
See the CVS under o.a.j.om.page
You can't find the control layout code in J2 because its not there yet.
Remember that J2 is a new project under development

But what I'd like is the TabController back, and what'd I really like is to be able to convert a FlashMenuController I wrote to Jetspeed2 and submit it for possible contribution.

It looks like Velocity .vm templates are gone, but velocity macros are still there -- invoked within JSP now.
Basically, the questions are:
1) How do I setup portlet controllers
2) How do I get portlet skins to display around each portlet , or at least get the colored title bar and action images
3) How do I get 2 or 3 column layout of portlets


I need to submit a prototype next week, but I'm hoping that since portlet content is working that integrating the answers to the above questions won't be too hard.

Controllers are now known as layouts in the new page terminology
Im working on some documentation to help out here
I will try to get a aggregation thread started on the list today.
From there we can start discussing it in more detail and work towards a common design
