What "Build from source" page have you been looking at?
Try: http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/buildguide/maven-2-build.html The svn location is mentioned right away in the first paragraph (prerequisites) at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/jetspeed-2/portal/trunk/ Detailed instructions how to proceed are given further on on the page, but for "just" building the engine $mvn install already will do (as is described as well). Additional build (custom and/or maven archetype based) instructions are available through the Build Guide menu. Would be nice if you could review *this* (e.g. the primary) documentation and see if your critique still holds. If so, please let us know how and where we can improve it and we'll happily take your advise and patches when and where they make sense. With kind regards, Ate On 07/16/2010 10:00 PM, edingogh wrote:
Right off the bat, the "Build from source" guide on the Jetspeed site is horribly out of date. Critical information is missing, some of the instructions steps are out of sequence, some steps are mentioned not in their sequence but as an afterthought later in the document. Looks like Hunter S. Thompson wrote the Apache documentation for Jetspeed--complete stream-of-conciousness, disorganized approach. I need to build Jetspeed (not Jetexpress or a portlet app) but the actual Portal engine, from source. Can anyone point me to a better guide online to building Jetspeed portal engine from source? One of the first steps is just "checkout the source from SVN repos"---but there are dozens of projects, none named just "Jetspeed", so no way to know which project/projects to check out. Not in documentation.
