Christophe:

You do not need to build unless you are trying to use the latest source
code. Version 1.0 includes a Jetspeed.jar which is ready to run.

The directions provided on the web-site are accurate. There are a couple of
areas that were IMHO too vague. The tricky part for me was configuring the
.properties files. If you would like, I will email to you a copy of mine for
guidance.

Here are some hints:
* anywhere you are asked to provide a local path to a file (as opposed to a
URL), enter the * path as /c:/<path> (the leading / is intentional)
* If you are using a vanilla install of Tomcat, the root file-path is <path
to tomcat>/webpages/

Anomolies:
1) I have found that Jetspeed does not read the castor jar file. (I posted
this, but I have not seen a reply, so consider this "unconfirmed") I had to
un-jar the file (jar xf castor-0.7.4.jar).

2) change content\xml\defaultPortlets.xml to defaultPortlets.jxml.
3) change content\xml\feeds\feeds.xml to feeds.jxml.
4) modify JetspeedResources.properties to use the new filenames above:
    -- portletmarkup.default.url=/content/xml/defaultPortlets.jxml
    -- contentfeeds.default.url=/content/xml/feeds/feeds.jxml

You should not need to modify server.xml. Instead, modify the
/webpages/WEB-INF/web.xml. Here is a copy of mine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd">

<web-app>

<servlet>
 <servlet-name>jetspeed</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>Turbine</servlet-class>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>
  properties
 </param-name>
 <param-value>
  c:\classes\jetspeed\TurbineResources.properties
 </param-value>
 </init-param>
</servlet>

</web-app>
