Good question. There have been some discussions around this. Originally, the thought was that once there is a J2 final release, the maven plugin method would be the way to go and developers would add their customizations as described in the getting started document. However, because many people have had difficulty with maven and the maven plugin, it is my understanding that the contributors are rethinking this. Maven being new to me, I had some difficulties at first, but now I would be quite happy using the maven plugin to build a custom portal (when the final release is ready or if M4-snapshot worked). In the mean time, what I have been doing is just keeping a separate file structure that mirrors the j2 source structure with my changes. I then have an ant task that copies them into the source distribution before I build. I have not updated my source tree since I adopted this method however, so when I do, I will use the eclipse/svn merge functionality to ensure my changes are compatible with the latest source.
