Thank you for the info. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to build for a
very long time and thought it was only me.
M3 was the last time I saw it work.
Is there a chance of the docs, scripts and libaries will be straightened
out?

The documentation for getting Jetspeed installed is not in a useful state
and does not work correctly.
The version numbers on the libraries that maven puts in the repository do
not match what Jetspeed needs in some cases and in other cases the library
is missing.
I was never able to get it working with Eclipse or even by following the
directions in the getting-started.html.
The M4 snapshot that you are told to download has errors in it that
prevent maven from building it correctly.
You will get to the point of deploying it but it will fail to deploy
(tomcat dumps a lot when Jetspeed is accessed - read the archives for more
details.
I finally got a working jetspeed by downloading a binary version of M3. I
downloaded the binary release from
http://apache.mirror.rafal.ca/portals/jetspeed-2/
This worked but now I have to figure out a) what do I have or not have and
b) how to get the whole mess into Eclipse in a state that I can customize
it and build something useful.
I have received some very useful advice about how to separate and manage
my customizations from the jetspeed distribution. (probably in the
archives). The person who gave me the advice has already written the Ant
tasks to manage his customization but did not post the Ant Script.
He did however give a pretty clear description of how it worked. Can't do
this until I get the Jetspeed sources/libraries into Eclipse with a
working Maven build .
There needs to be more attention paid to the installation instructions and
some real thought put into how web designers and system managers who are
not java programmers can get this mess installed. I would be very
interested in working with other similarly minded people who are trying to
get a web application built with Jetspeed using Eclipse the way it is
supposed to work - not from the DOS or LINUIX command line. Maven is
integrated into Eclipse, we should not be futzing around with maven
commands.
This is not my top priority but it is something that I want to get working
this month.

thanks Jacek, i know this, and eclise read some library like dom4j,
commons-io ecc. but my eclipse don't find library like aopalliance,
castor...i need to download some library but i don't know how make
that...:)
I see...:) Add to your Maven's project.properties a list of remote
repositories, like this:
maven.repo.remote = http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven/,
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/, http://dist.codehaus.org/,
http://cvs.apache.org/repository
If some download problems appear with Maven, you can download the
libraries manually (from any of the above locations) and place them in
your local repository as groupId/jars/artifactId-version.jar, e.g. for a
"sample" dependency in project.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>group_name</groupId>
<artifactId>lib_name</artifactId>
<version>lib_version</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
use:
group_name/jars/lib_name-lib_version.jar
