I give up, then I go back because it's the only framework that has
what I need. The documentation sucks. Honestly, I regret the time I
have wasted, it would have been easier for me to write my own
security layer for roles/groups management. The documents sometimes
instruct you to use maven-1 and then switches to maven-2. And
worse, none of the instruction works.
Our build situation with two Mavens is confusing, I agree. The
history: we started with a Maven-1 build, and then Maven came out
with Maven-2. The problem was that we still had lots of users
building custom builds with Maven-1.
Thus we tried to support both versions of Maven, and it seems the
documentation has become muddied in the process.
We are in the process of moving to one single Maven-2 build, and
greatly simplifying the build in the new 2.2 development branch.
I know it feels good to just shoot off and say "the documentation
sucks" and frankly I don't blame you. If you could also point out a
few areas where the documentation is wrong, that would help others.
Im not asking to review the entirely documentation, just point out a
few particular areas where you got stuck badly.

I tried the installer for jetspeed-2 and it works fine. But a lot
of things that I don't need and frustrated about. What are all
these directories. I don't want an embeded tomcat. I need to
understand how to deploy jetspeed and customize it. Then I will
dive into how to add my own portlets.
The installer comes with an embedded Tomcat to simplify support.
It would also be nice to have installers for Tomcat and Websphere and
JBoss
The last thing I was trying to do is following this page http://
portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/getting-started-binary.html
I created a directory ~/workspace/jetspeed. And put in that
directory build.properties , which contains:
basedir = ~/workspace/myportal
maven.repo.remote = http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven/, http://
www.ibiblio.org/maven/, http://dist.codehaus.org/, http://
cvs.apache.org/repository
then, when I ran: maven j2:portal.genapp , I get:
BUILD FAILED

Is there a clean place to learn about Jetspeed-2 other than the docs.
If you want to build with Maven-2, there is the Wiki
