Okay, the new build is now working for me, after reading Carol's missing
steps:

> 2. Also two empty folders are needed:
>      C:\TOMCAT\WEBAPPS\jetspeed\WEB-INF\cache
>      C:\TOMCAT\WEBAPPS\jetspeed\WEB-INF\log\tmp

Missing step 2 was the problem. I didn't have a cache directory, and
JetspeedDiskCache.java was getting a NullPointerException in initEntries()
when it tried to access a directory (cache) that didn't exist

Can we change the webapp build to:

1. create the \cache and \log\tmp directories
2. distribute an empty jetspeed.log
3. distribute the webmacro.jar in lib

Thanks Carol !

Raphael, the new WAR build is great. It is also very easy to install (as
I've now done 3 times this morning....)
