So then is it best to install jetspeed and then have a separate project to 
deploy on top of the jetspeed installation?  This is probably the simplest 
technique, but I'm not particularly happy about using a multi-stage build 
process.  I would rather have an encapsulated jar that I can drop into my 
project that has no outside dependencies. 

I read that there is an option to override properties, which seems to help out 
a lot -- but the main question is how susceptible will I be to upgrades in 
the jetspeed source if I follow this method?

Are you talking about the technique at 
http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/override_props.html for overriding 
properties?

>>Yeah this is the site about overriding property files and it works just fine.

Thanks,
