To clarify further, you need to make no code changes. Everything is handled by configuring the portlet preference values that the portlet is configured to look for. No need to change portlet.xml either.
1. Add the JSP page to the uportal-portlets-overlay/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp. As Drew said, the portlet is already bundled so you don't need to do anything special to include the portlet 2. Publish a new instance of the JasigWidgetsPortlet SimpleJSP portlet using the admin UI (Manage Portlets) or by creating a new XML file (I suggest the former, then export it to your src/main/data folder when done so it is available with an ant initdb on your test and prod systems). a) In the Admin UI, edit the preferences and add a preference "SimpleJspPortletController.jspName" and set to it MCLogo (assuming your JSP is MCLogo.jsp). 3. Update respondr-lo.fragment-layout.xml file and replace channel portal-logo with the portlet I created (using the fname you added in step 2). Reimport the fragment-layout file using the Import/Export feature in the Admin UI, or use ant to do the data import. Alternately, do an initdb to verify you have everything setup in your src/main/data properly. You should be good to go.
