Hello,
Thank you for your clarification.
Could someone please confirm if this actually was the correct way to
build a custom portal?
Well, this is the current recommended approach:
http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2/Maven2BuildSupport
backed by the tutorial:
http://portals.apache.org/tutorials/jetspeed-2/
I understand what is already documented is *the* recommended
approach, but I was having problems building the tutorial as I
mentioned in the original post, so in the end I downloaded the
entire repository and editted the settings.xml to not point to any
mirrors, and the build ended successfully.
I was curious to find out if what I did was also another acceptable
way, because I'm currently considering to develop a custom portal
on Jetspeed in a non-internet-reachable environment during the
implementation and testing phases, so if you only need to simply
download a "clean" repository once, and not have to connect to any
mirrors, then that's a good news to me.
Maven is a very powerful tool full of great features and can be
easily configured to point at repos inside your intranet.
Of course you will somehow need to download the dependency jars once
to put them there
Recently, due to complaints from newbies about the difficulties of
using Maven-2, I decided to try a simpler method of building, with
Ant + Eclipse as described here:
http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/index.html
I've read a few correspondences in which you wrote about it, and
I'm very much interested in trying it out. The thing is, our
production environment will be FreeBSD/postgres, so my first
priority is to try running and developing a portal with Jetspeed on
FreeBSD/postgres, and to verify that Jetspeed indeed provides the
functions we need.
After that, I will need to setup a development environment, so I'm
expecting your new tutorial with Eclipse will be a great reference.
The installer that comes with the tutorial will run on FreeBSD and
has a "checkbox" for selecting PostgreSQL as your database. So I
think the Ant/Eclipse tutorial is a good place to get started for
evaluation
