Thank you David.
This sounds good. I was able to build every thing from source. I will
try you suggestion about the stand alone j2-admin, and will let you know.

I find customizing jetspeed is easy the way I do it. Here's how I did
it. From a fresh installation of jetexpress (the binary distribution)
I created the jetexpress war and imported it as an eclipse project. I
did the same for the j2-admin. Then, I imported the server.xml to the
META-INF folder in the jetexpress project.
Now, I can customize the themes and the templates and export the war
file easily. It would be nice to be able to do the same with source
code. I need to add some functionality to the j2-admin.
Unforetunately, thing are not that simple where I have to build from
maven (I tried before and gave up), then I have to find a way to
debug in eclipse and the worst part I have to keep on searching in
js2 documentation.
I decided to give this a shot and check out only j2-admin from the
SVN. Things did not go easily as I had to copy the libraries to the
lib folder. I have checked out
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/jetspeed-2/trunk/applications/j2-admin/src/
as a dynamic web project and set the contents to "webapp" and the
source to "java" folders. Then copied the missing libraries. One of
the errors I am getting is in the class package
org.apache.jetspeed.portlets.tracking.PortletTrackingPortlet . The
error says:
"The hierarchy of the type PortletTrackingPortlet is inconsistent"
Any idea about how to start developing with the "j2-admin" only
without going through the process of building with maven ?
We hope to better address this situation when we work out the new
build after 2.1.3 release
For now, here is a .classpath and pom for j2-admin standalone
http://people.apache.org/~taylor/j2-admin/
Of course you will need to rename project -> .project and classpath ->
.classpath
Best to try to get it to build with Maven-2 first, as the classpath is
dependent on M2_REPO variable
If you don't use Maven-2 then convert it to a WTP project and manually
copy in the deps into the WEB-INF/lib
