Hi Could not agree more regarding the properties file ! Better is to standardize on some standard. According to W3C could an e-mail address be 128 characters. It would be better to have this as both standard in the database and the forms ! Because this is something people use, if this standard changes then the product changes to follow this !

Jetspeed already has too much "hack" of this style (see properties file, they become more and more hard to read for a new user). In fact I think most people using jetspeed in production already have overwritten most of the templates for their needs, except maybe the generic ones that handle portlets / panes. You can make a portal generic enough for every needs, end users/developers have stuff to do to my mind.
