You have raised an interesting question.
What would you consider to be the maximum number of things that you
could install to evaluate it?
How many steps in the process is acceptable?
How much damage to existing setups is acceptable?
How close to a production system does the evaluation have to be? Could
the database and servlet container be demo quality?
I certainly like to get software that comes with a Windows installer
that only asks 1 question "Do you want to over ride my choice of xxx
under your Program Files directory?"
The fact that the resulting demo would not be anything useful in the
long term may not be an issue to an evaluator.

This is exactly the point! Great you got it.
I did not mean to be critic, but I am sure you can understand someone
who can not start installing maven/ant etc. to evaluate it.
An incremental approach for documentation would be definitively great.
Good luck,

The user community is trying to fix up the documentation but we are
very early into the process.
There is a wiki where we are trying to get an outline of what we all
would have liked to have when we started.
http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2
It is an old unused wiki and I have started to clean out some of the
old stuff.
I have asked Hippo(Jetspeed developers) to update the roadmap on the
wiki.
If you have some suggestions about what you think we should create,
please let the group know.
I have some ideas about how the documentation should be organized to
allow different types of users to get the information that they need.
A person who is trying to run jetspeed "out of the box" with no
customization(evaluator for example) needs different information
than a developer who needs to modify the way that users login which
is different from the info required by someone who is going to build
custom portlets
I would like some discussion about this approach to see if we can
build a modular documentation set that will give us as much of a
custom view of the documentation as possible while minimizing the
number of overlapping documents.
We also need some high level documentation that can help evaluators
to understand what they are getting with Jetspeed, the underlying
architecture and when this the right way to go.

Hi all,
fine to hear you made it (at least start it), as I tried
unsuccesfully to do the same... no way to make it work on MySQL
backend.
I used J1.X for several projects, but the time I am spending to
evaluate J2 is definitively too high...
My sincere congratulations to the developer team, nevertheless
consider it might be hard for "dummy" interested parties to start
using J2.
My two cents, just a comment.
Be well,
Stefano

Subject: Jetspeed2 Installation
Hi,
I'm new to portals and I was able to install Jetspeed2 using the demo
installer jar.
I used Oracle XE as the database. The portal was fine except for some
portlets that are not working.
I have a couple of questions though.
I wanted to create my own portal following the JetExpress tutorial.
However, even if I use a different database for the 2nd portal i
get an
exception
on my container name not being unique; jetspeed - actionvalve bean
can't be
created due to this.
Even if I changed the name in the mvn command to use jetexpress, I
wonder
why its throwing this.
So I just installed a fresh Tomcat instance and used mysql as the 2nd
database.
Custom portal was deployed but I can't login using any of the
credentials
that comes along.
Its sayign that the DefaultLoginModule class can not be found.
I checked the tomcat lib folder and it has the security jar.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rache
