Just a short comment on OpenCms... I don�t think merging boths systems is a good idea (I�ve worked with both, hence also my small project on the OCS site on how to integrate Velocity)
OCS follows a completely different route. a) First it is under LGPL so basically an integration is possible but not under the Apache license for the full system. b) The philosophy is different. OpenCMS bascially builts an entire web infrastructure upon an RDB... that basically means it simulating a file system and puts a frontpage like infrastructure on top of it to enable an experienced user to edit and manage the content. I think if you�ve ever seen OpenCms in action you know what I mean. This doesn�t really blend to well with the rather lightweigt approach Jetspeed follows (and which I personally prefer). You could build up a portal content infrastructure on top of opencms, by sharing the content tables and then having them served by jetspeed, but I don�t really think the effort really is worth it. OpenCMS is a powerful system and works very well if you can handle it (it needs a lot of tweaking before you really can roll it out) But the philopsophies of both systems are simply completely different. OpenCMS is not a content management where you just serve the content (you have to build something on top of that) its more an Infrastructure to enable you to build such systems. Whereas Jetspeed is a portal which just serves the content which might be fed into it by a CMS System.
