Scott, Just for the record, here is how I built the JBoss Portal 2.2 on Windows 2000, with Ant (not with Eclipse) : 1) The hard part was to figure out what to download and from where. The documentation (JBossPortalUserGuide.pdf, section 2.1 "Getting the JBoss Portal files") states :
<<CVS Version HEAD (The most up to date sources at your own risks): cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED] co jboss-portal-2.0 >> For 2.2, I found the relevant information in a Novell presentation by M.Holzner (http://www.novell.com/brainshare/europe/05_presentations/tut248.pdf) : cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jboss co jboss-portal-2.2 For those behind a CVS-blocking firewall (like me at work), note that the FishEye Web interface (http://anoncvs.forge.jboss.com/viewrep/JBoss) does not show this module as top-level. Rather, the "/CVSROOT/modules" file must be consulted to determine how "jboss-portal-2.2" is made up and which parts you must get. I tried to use CVSgrab (http://cvsgrab.sourceforge.net) as described in http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=CVSRepository and apparently this tool cannot determine automatically what goes in "jboss-portal-2.2". BTW, I also found out that CVSgrab.bat aborted with a cryptic (and unhelpful) error unless I removed the double quotes around %HOME_ARG% on Java.exe command line. 2) Once you get the sources (in "jboss-portal-2.2" if you have followed Martin's presentation), go to the "build" folder. On Windows : c:\>cd jboss-portal-2.2\build 3) Start the command line ANT build by running : c:\jboss-portal-2.2\build>build.bat Note that ANT is part of the downloaded files. There are no extra tools needed at this point. 4) Upon build completion, my 930 MHz Pentium III machine displayed a reassuring : BUILD SUCCESSFUL | Total time: 3 minutes 42 seconds | Press any key to continue . . . 5) The result of the build is \jboss-portal-2.2\core\output\lib\jboss-portal.sar (approx 8.5 MBytes) Now, I had some issues deploying this files (got many exceptions). I think a dedicated thread will be more appropriate for discussing the latter, though.
