Bob, Whether you rebuild Jespeed from the source or use the nightly jetspeed-1.3a2-dev-war.zip, the webapps/jetspeed directory tree will be over written. I usually rename it so I have a backup. By using the configuration files local-portals.xreg, local-skins.xreg, and local-manager.xreg you can minimize the amount of editing/customization of the Jetspeed configuration files.
Yes, the latest nightly build should have demo-portlets.xreg, which you can delete if you do not want to use the demo portlets.
