#2 is no problem. For the application server it makes no difference whether the classes are located in WEB-INF/classes or in a jar in WEB-INF/lib. I have a separate Eclipse project for my classes, all in packages of my own. For deployment, I unpack the jetspeed.war into a directory, copy my own stuff there (thereby overwriting some files) and then package everything into a .war file again. For the properties, I use the OverwriteProperties class as in the tutorial. The advantage is that it is a lot easier to switch to a new jetspeed version.
