I agree we should address the documentation situation, such as
yanking the Maven-1 build instructions for custom builds
I will start a new thread on the dev list to discuss a solution
amongst the developers, thanks

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.

I agree that the builds are not being managed very well right
now. I cannot
build 2.1.2 (java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError) but I can build
2.1just fine. I think some of your problem may be your lack of
understanding
of maven. I told you to run 'mvn' to install to the local
repository which
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".
