Watch for the places where the person get stuck and note the questions and discussion.
There are little things that are assumed. Last time I looked, it went into great detail about Maven and Ant but never mentionned downloading Jetspeed or setting it up. It just assumed that you would intuitively know at what point to install Jetspeed.
It had a whole page about all of the properties in build.properties but never mentionned where to get the file and where to put it.
This is not just a Jetspeed problem, it happens everywhere, Just try to figure out how to set up Tomcat and Apache to use the worker files. Same problem - lots of instructions about what the files contents are but never any mention about where the file actually goes - apache/conf or tomcat/conf???
I am pleased about the amount of documentation that is getting done and I know that writing documentation is neither fun nor easy.
Keep up the good work.

hi!
you should check your build.properties file... have you followed the instructions given on the portal homepage?
maybe my instructions/hints can solve your probably (hope you've downloaded and installed java, tomcat and maven...)
in the src-folder you've downloaded, there is a file called build.properties.sample - rename this file to build.properties and edit it. take care of the slashes in the path - they have to be / instead of the normal windows - eg. c:/programs instead of c:\programs!!
next you have to put the build.properties file in your user-home directory - if you use windows - its "driveletter":\documents and settings\"User" - hope you understand what i mean - if not, just ask
if you've done already so, maybe it helps if you show me a listing of your build.properties file... in my opinion - it's not easy getting started with jetspeed-2 - so keep on trying :-)
greets, bernhard

Subject: Build problems: Jetspeed and Maven
Hi, I try to build jetspeed 2 with maven and I follow the instruction from "getting started" manual but I have a problem.
First step I have done cd ${jetspeed-2-home} maven start.test.server
Console output: build:start start.test.server: ... [java] server.properties not found, using command line or default properties [java] opening database: ./src/database/hsql/Test [java] HSQLDB server 1.7.1 is running [java] Use SHUTDOWN to close normally ... [java] ... Listening for connections...
Second Step I have done in another console: cd ${jetspeed-2-home} maven allClean allBuild
Console output: Starting the reactor... BUILD FAILED File..... C:\...\maven.xml Line 104 Column 7 Error reading XML or initializing
But the maven.xml file at this line looks so:
<maven:reactor basedir="${basedir}"
includes="*/project.xml,applications/*/project.xml,services/*/project.xm l,components/*/project.xml,portals-bridges/*/project.xml" excludes="applications/project.taglibs/project.xml" goals="clean" banner="Cleaning" ignoreFailures="true" /> //!!!line 104
<maven:reactor basedir="${basedir}"
includes="layout-portlets/project.xml,maven-plugin/project.xml,taglibs/p roject.xml" goals="clean" banner="Cleaning" ignoreFailures="true" />
Ok. I�m a Newbie but I think this lines are ok. So can you tell me whats wrong. In the first terminal session was no server.properties found but I dont know this file. Because the file is failed the TestServer starts.
Please help me.
