I agree with you. There is a constant tension between users who are
already committed to an open source product and want new features to
solve particular problems that they have run into, with those who are
just getting started and need to get the application running using the
installation documentation and need to gain an understanding about how
to build their application from the distributed package.
Being in the second class, I am trying to add a newcomers perspective to
the documentation and to improve the installation and customization docs.
If you want to help, we could certainly use another eye on the
documentation to ensure that it meets the needs of those who are just
starting out.
Let David know if you want to help. Unfortunately, we are strong on
enthusiasm and weak on knowledge so most of the heavy lifting is falling
on David who also needs to make a living while helping the rest of us.
If you have a budget for your project, you might also think about giving
him a contract to help you out or to build an initial configuration that
works.

of maven. I told you to run 'mvn' to install to the local repository

would have solved your dependency resolution errors in your earlier
emails.
As a beginner don't bother trying to generate your own custom portal,
the
jetspeed maven2 plugin is not reliable enough for someone who is new to
maven.
Try jetspeed-2.1 and simply run 'mvn' then 'mvn -P tomcat' with your
relevant info in ~/.m2/settings.xml and see if you can get it
working. Once
you have that figured out generating a custom portal might be easier.
This is an open source project, you get what you pay for.
And, nope. I don't always get what I a pay for. DO you? I paid a lot
of money for MS vista and never got anything back.
If you need
better support I would suggest trying websphere or something that you
can
buy commercial support for.
Is this true?
Because it's an open source, I am expecting support before any thing.
By saying support I mean "documentation".
