Documentation for using Installer doesn't work, and I can't find any 
installation procedures that do work.

         Key: JS2-447
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-447
     Project: Jetspeed 2
        Type: Bug
  Components: Installer  
    Versions: 2.0-FINAL    
 Environment: Windows XP SP2, with Tomcat
    Reporter: Wayne Babich
    Priority: Critical


I am attempting to install Jetspeed-2 using the installer, not building from 
source.
The instructions at 
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/getting-started-installer.html seem to 
have no relationship to the actual software, and I can find no install 
procedures that work.
For example:
-- The instructions say that I can download  Jetspeed2.0-derby-install.jar.  
But the actual download is a zip file that does not include any jar by that 
name.   I can find no installer.
-- If I unpack the downloaded zip file,  I find an installpack.zip.  However, 
this appears to be a tomcat directory, not installation tools.  Also, the 
README and RELEASE-NOTES talk about JGOODIES, not jetspeed or tomcat., and 
provide no guidance.
-- The installpack.zip contains two files called "zipsucks", one of which is in 
webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\deploy, which interferes with the execution of 
JetSpeed's war file under Tomcat.
-- If I unpack the installpack.zip and try to use it as a tomcat installation, 
startup.bat fails because it uses my pre-existing CATALINA_HOME (from a tomcat 
installation already running on my machine)
-- If I fix the above problems and startup tomcat, Jetspeed fails at Tomcat 
startup due to SQLException: "No suitable driver".  This cascades into a 
springframework.beans.factory.Bean CreationException: Error creating bean with 
name "jetspeedDS'.  Presumably, this is happening because there is no JDBC 
connection information to point to the pre-installed database (is it Derby or 
Hypersonic?), and I can find no documentation on how to provide this connection 
information.

Is there an intention that it should be possible to run JetSpeed 2 without 
building it, or is it expected that everyone will build?
