Thanks for the comments David.
I tried downloading the Ant build package from the link you provided
but I'm getting a 404.
Regards,
David

Yes, the .m2/settings.xml under my user profile directory is
configured, the only difference being the location of Tomcat, since
I already had an installation.
"From that point on, its hit or miss with downloading the files,

More like miss and miss. It looks to me that at some point http://
repo1.maven.org/ got restructured and some of the content is missing
from there. It IS, however, at http://www.bluesunrise.com/, so what
I'm thinking is there must be a reference in the xml somewhere
defining which repository to use.
Well you can always try this approach, (but Im sure you have seen it
already on this mailing list)
Download the entire maven repo from here:
http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven2/repository.zip
Be honest I can't even remember if that is a 2.1-dev or 2.1 repository
Just in case you are wiling to try a new approach, I've also added a
new Ant build here. I really prefer to support this one even though
it has no docs:
http://www.bluesunrise.com/tutorials/ant/jetexpress.zip
Unzip it into /Jetspeed/workspace/jetexpress and take a look at the
build.properties
# general properties
portal.name = jetexpress
# installation properties
installer.src.jar = /Jetspeed/installers/jetspeed-2.2-dev-installer.jar
installer.target = ./target
installer.dst.jar = jetexpress-installer.jar
# development deployment properties
app.server.home = /Jetspeed/server
Note that the location of everything is configurable in the
build.properties for your project
The app.server.home needs to be the same place where you install your
custom jetspeed into
You should also DL the installer which is used as a template for the
build here (required):
http://www.bluesunrise.com/tutorials/ant/jetspeed-2.2-dev-installer.jar
(Note that the installer includes Tomcat)
The Ant goals available include:
create.installer -- create your own custom installer
delta - deploy decorators and pages
deploy.webapps - deploy the sample webapps included
The resources are here:
http://www.bluesunrise.com/tutorials/ant/resources.zip
After running create.installer
You can cd dist and run the ant installer from there
java -jar jetexpress-installer.jar
remember to install into the same place as app.server.home
this installs the jetexpress portal -- start up the portal just like
any jetspeed portal
cd /Jetspeed/server/bin
./startup.sh
then nav to http://localhost:8080/jetexpress/portal
The next step is to "customize" your portal with your own pages,
decorators, new webapps
You can recreate an installer at anytime based on your changes to the
custom project
So the lesson is to recreate the installer using the resources to
show how to "customize" your portal
Run the three goals to copy in the portal resources:
<!-- Tutorial Resources -->
<target name='copy-portlet-resources'>
<target name='copy-page-resources'>
<target name='copy-decoration-resources'>
(note where the resources dir is expected under /Jetspeed/resources
-- that should probably be configurable...)
you can then build your installer again and re-install
note that there are dev goals for deploying to the running portal
without re-installing of course
the tutorial would also show how to deploy portlet applications live
with eclipse...
I know this isn't the greatest docs, but I prefer to write a good
tutorial then a one-off like this
hope that helps and sorry you had such a bad maven-2 experience
