Sorry for this basic question - I have seen the posts that say it can be done - and I 
have kinda made it work, but I am sure I have done it the wrong way - as I seem to be 
struggling at every step. 
 
There is a post that says:

So I download/unzip the source to c:\jetspeed-1.4 and then try to import that as a 
project into Eclipse.  It fails for the lack of a .project file.  Get past that and 
the .classpath file.  But now Eclipse's compile generates 13,000 errors because the 
package that all the source files use starts with org.apache.jetspeed.... but the 
package structure generated by the Eclipse import looks like 
src.java.org.apache.jetspeed....
 
I then work around this putting the .project file and the .classpath file at 
C:\jetspeed-1.4\src\java and importing just that as the project.  Now the package 
structure matches and I can get things to build in Eclipse.  But of course, I want to 
run ant.  And, there is no build directory inside my project (since I only imported 
the part under java to make the package structure match).  So I import the build files 
into my Eclipse project - but the Ant build fails immediately as it can't seem to 
locate the jars in build\lib.
 
So I start to think - I think I have gone in the wrong direction and that surely there 
is a simpler way.
 
Can anyone enlighten me as to how I should have gone about getting Jetspeed into 
Eclipse so that both the package structure works and so that ant builds?  (Or, am I 
actually on the right path, but I will have to do my Ant builds outside of Eclipse??)
 
Thanks so much!
