Is that *really* useful ?
If you insist I may definitely do it but I didn't see it as necessary since
it's just a patched version of the current Turbine CVS and as soon as my 
reosurces patches are integrated in the turbine CVS tree, I'll update again
the jar, this time using the

turbine-CVS12112000.jar 

notation so it would easy ffor anybody interested in the source to check 
the file for this date from the Turbine CVS.

Yes, I know that this introduce again version number in the jar contained
in the lib/ directory but now that we have WAR support and everything is 
automatically configured, I don't see it as an issue.

Yes I had issues with the unique constraints and the default values but since
I hadn't updated hsql.jar for a long time I didn't know if it was related to
my jar file or a bug in the sql script. Once I'll know for sure, either I'll
notify Jason so that he can fix the torque generation files or I'll update
the db.

Yes, I think the WAR deprecates the need for jetspeed-system but I did not
modify the conf files in src/config/ on purpose. 
I'll sync everything when the WAR is building, running and stable.
For now, you should consider the WAR building as experimental but committed in
the head so that everybody can have a say in what's going in.
For now, if you want to have a look at what JR.p and TR.p I use, 
check /webapp/WEB-INF/conf/

BTW, I was considering to remove the Cocoon portlets from the default
jetspeed-config.jcfg (and default WAR operation) and only provide the
XSP functionality as a "configure yourself" portlet with the help of a 
few examples.

Why ?
Because we won't have to distribute cocoon anymore with Jetspeed thus 
removing a build and distribution dependency
Beccause the Cocoon support is a hell to maintain properly and generates
at least half the user questions 
Because templated portlets will remove a lot from XSP support interest
Because Cocoon 1.8 is not actively developped anymore so it's an
evolutionary dead-end anyway without a serious reimplementation. We might
as well not promote too heavily a component which will need a complete
overhaul in the near future.

I short my opinion is that it's better not to integrate with cocoon and 
provide a good alternate system ( JSP, velocity, XSL templates portlets) 
rather than badly integrate with such a cool project.
