I am working with Tomcat 5.5.4, Java 5 (1.5.0), the latest Eclipse, Maven 1.0.1 and have downloaded the latest Eclipse plug-ins recomended in the Jetspeed Wiki.
So far so good. Jetspeed is downloaded and I only got one error message about license.txt which appears to be downloaded OK anyway.
I am trying to report as many of the errors and omissions in the current documentation as I can. I have a feeling that the guys who are writing the documentatoin are sometimes too knowledable and leave things out that us mere mortals do not deduce from their descriptions. The best one is the Jetspeed installation where they omit the step of downloading Jetspeed after carefully making sure that we have Maven and all the other stuff
I am a big Eclipse fan and use it for all of our interactions with CVS and for non-Java activities such as Flash Actionscript development and to get the marketing types to keep organized by creating eclipse projects for marketing. It handles Mindmaps, XML, word processing documents, etc.. It gives us a truly secure, distributed file system with good protection against conflicting updates. We work out of 4 locations in Montreal and have staff in Columbia sharing files and managing projects through Eclipse.
When I tried to do the maven build, I got this error.
File or url 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0/Classes/classes.jar' could not be found
java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: c

at com.werken.forehead.Forehead.main(Forehead.java:579)
So now I guess that I start the research on this. There does not appear to be a file classes.jar in Java 5 or Java 4 so it must be a setting that is not right somewhere.
It looks like it is having trouble with the c: but I do not know where it is building this. JAVA_HOME has the C: in it but removing it from the definition of JAVA_HOME did not have any effect.

Hi Ron,
I have used Jetspeed with 1.5 binaries before. I needed to upgrade to 1.6 or 2 since it offered struts and jsr 168 portlet support. So this past week, I was able to successfully build and deploy Jetspeed 2 and Jetspeed 1.6 with fusion. I downloaded and used Maven for the first time just for the purpose of building Jetspeed 2. Some patience and lot of reading into the mailing list posts and responses from the mailing list members helped me with it.
Here's my own notes on how to get Jetspeed 2 built. My environment was
Win XP, Tomcat 5.0.28 and jdk1.4.2_06. I saw many questions on the
mailing list on how to get the source from CVS. So I started out with
answering that.
1. I need to use Jetspeed 2. Binaries are not available since it is
not released yet. How can I get the source from CVS and build it?
You need a CVS client to access the source code anonymously.
Instructions on getting source with Eclipse is described here.
http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2/DevelopingJetspeed2
You can use Cygwin CVS or any others for downloading the source. You
can download Cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/mirrors.html. Make
sure you select CVS from the Devel on installation. You can now use
the instructions at apache (
http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html )to get the source from
CVS. The steps involved are
â Set the CVSROOT environment variable CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic export CVSROOT
â Login to CVS
cvs login password anoncvs
â Choose the module to download
For jetspeed 2
cvs checkout Jakarta-jetspeed-2
2. OK, I have the source now, how do I build this? The instructions on building Jetspeed are at http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/getting-started.html For step #1, I followed the instructions available here http://maven.apache.org/start/install.html For step # 2, I copied the build.properties.sample in the jetspeed2 directory to build.properties in the userhome directory( On my windows box, C:\Documents and settings\hmenon ) and then modified it as suggested for step 2 in http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/getting-started.html Then continued with the further steps, at which case I run across the following problems which were resolved as described below.
3.The build started by ultimately failed due to unsatisfied dependency with the following errors. Attempting to download pluto-1.0.1-rc1.jar. WARNING: Failed to download pluto-1.0.1-rc1.jar. BUILD FAILED File...... C:\temp\jakarta-jetspeed-2\maven.xml âââââââââââââ.. Column.... 40 The build cannot continue because of the following unsatisfied dependency: pluto-1.0.1-rc1.jar What can I do to fix this? Maven tries to download the jars to your local repository (usually %home/.maven/repository directory) from the remote repository (maven.remote.repo =www.bluesunrise.com/maven, â) as defined in the project.properties. If it is unable to download from these locations, you are likely to get this error. You could try downloading these jars from these locations and place it in the respective folders in the local maven repository and restart the build.
4. The build completed successfully. How do I deploy this? Follow the instruction #5 as described in http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/getting-started.html
5. OK, Jetspeed 2 is now deployed successfully, but I cannot find the login page. Here's the exception in Tomcat logs.. BOOT] WARN: Could not load properties file 'OJB.properties'. Using default settings! C:\WINDOWS\system32\OJB.properties (The system cannot find the file specified) java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\WINDOWS\system32\OJB.properties (The system cannot find the file specified) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) Help meâ. Copy OJB.properties from Jakarta-jetspeed-2/etc/db-ojb directory to TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jetspeed/web-inf/classes directory. You might want to copy all these listed files, otherwise you are likely to encounter problem as described in the next item. OJB-logging.properties OJB.properties repository_database.xml repository.dtd repository_internal.xml repository.xml TEMP.xml Restart tomcat after copying the files. 6. Copied OJB.properties, restarted Tomcat, well, the page is not still up. Here's the exception from Tomcat logs, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'java.util.prefs.PreferencesFactory' defined in URL [file:/C:/Tomcat5.0.28/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/assembly/jetspeed-spring.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.apache.jetspeed.prefs.PreferencesException: Failed to initialize prefs api. java.lang.NullPointerException org.apache.jetspeed.prefs.PreferencesException: Failed to initialize prefs api. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.jetspeed.prefs.impl.PreferencesFactoryImpl.init(PreferencesFactoryImpl.java:69)at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39 What's it now? Here's the answer http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg16644.html Copy all the files and restart Tomcat.
7. Finally, http://localhost:8080/jetspeed is loaded with the new jetspeed 2 page. Logged in as admin/jetspeed user/password combo. What?? Invalid username/password?? Why? With jetspeed2 you need to use user/user or jetspeed/jetspeed as the user/password combination to login.
Other Known Issues 1. Issues with using JDK versions lower than 1.4.2_02 This bug as reported here http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5012893 is likely to cause the followin exception java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to initialize prefs api. java.lang.InternalError: Can't instantiate Preferences factory java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jetspeed.prefs.impl.PreferencesFactoryImpl. Hence you need to have jdk1.4.2_02 or higher.
I am not sure whether you were successful in building Jetspeed 2. But thought I would share my experience to make the process easier.
Thanks, Hema

In getting started with Jetspeed, I am trying to follow the instructions on http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/mail-lists.html fairly literally to see how clear they really are to a new person.
I have Apache and Tomcat working at the start of the process.
Problem 1) The instructions do not describe how to download Jetspeed or even mention the need to do this. Am I supposed to have downloaded it before I got here or am I supposed to download it through Maven between step 1 and 2.?
Problem 2) What is USER_HOME in a Windows 2000 environment. A windows use would expect this to be C:\Documents and Settings\rwheeler\My Documents but I am not sure if that makes any sense in the context of a Tomcat server. It needs explaining for either windows or Linux.
I hope that these comments lead to a better set of instructions that make it easy for new users. I will try to document the little issues that I run into. I know that it is hard for someone who completely understands the whole process to put themselves in the shoes of a new system administrator who has never seen the software before. It is easy to forget to mention something that seems so obvious once you have done it successfully.
