It seems to me that I should be able to use build.properties to get
what I need to get mysql working. I do not want to make any changes to
stuff under $CATALINA_HOME/conf.
I want the buld/install (Maven/Ant goals) to take stuff from my Eclipse
workspace, reconfigure all the configuration files and put it where it
belongs at run-time.
I am hoping that I can find a clear description of how to structure and
configure a working Eclipse application development environment that
does allow me to separate the application from the tool(Jetspeed) so
that I can replace the version of Jetspeed without having to worry that
I will lose key parts of my application in the process. I would like to
run a few standard Maven goals to rebuild and deploy my portal as the
graphic artist and I add new layouts and portlets.
I find it difficult to believe that no one has figured this out already
and documented it. I am hoping that the problem is that I am not yet
smart enough or perceptive enough to find this document and everyone
developing Jetspeed applications already has this all figured out.

Thanks for confirming that it is not just my mistake.
I downloaded a binary distribution and got it working with HSQL but not
MySQL yet.
You have to hack. First change the resource in
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/jetspeed.xml to use mysql, copy
mysql db driver to endorsed dir of course, and then I guess you have to
hack on the OJB settings in
$CATALINA_HOME/webapp/jetspeed/WEB-INF/classes. (?) I think this is more
difficult than building from source and let the j2 maven plugin take
care of everything for you.
I am now trying to figure out how to organize the development
environment to customize the portal.
Then you can easily use the j2:portal.genapp goal to create a customized
jetspeed portal with maven + eclipse support. ;-)
I would like to get the whole thing setup under Eclipse but I have not
yet found the instructions about how a web designer uses Jetspeed
without becoming a Jetspeed developer. I hope to be able to figure out
the boundary betwen Jetspeed and a Jetspeed application. I need to get
this set up and turned over to my graphic artist to customize in a way
where updates to Jetspeed do not mess up the application.
Look at the decorator documentation. Using maven this could easily be
setup as a separate module. Also look into the
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/decorations directory for the
structure.
