Ken, I'm not that daring and dare say not a java expert in any stretch of the imagination (really only about a year in java). I don't try to build any of the cvs versions. I simply wait for a formal release. I am using 1.3a2 as an application framework and use application portlets as components of the overall solution.
When things didn't work, classpath issues usually were the source of the problem. Given what I've seen in other portal products, open source or vendor-supported, jetspeed is no slacker.
