Hi Randy,
The error appears to be in importing some stuff from the commons codec project. Specifically, the error (along with 25 other errors of a similar nature) is listed below. When I first downloaded the project I was poking around and trying to resolve things, but I'm only passingly (well, increasingly) familiar with maven, and I didn't really want to get into it. Elisabeth's question highlights something else though, which is that, at least when I started trying to use the project, the text on the portals site is misleading: as far as I can tell, there is no binary release to download. That effectively limits the users of the portal to those who can use cvs, and while the vast majority of us subscribe to a certain development orthodoxy that includes it, I'm sure there are lots of beginners out there that are finding the learning curve on their first project pretty steep. I'm not saying it's good or bad, just that I'm sure the frustration I felt the first time I tried to get the project has probably been multiplied thousands of times over and could be corrected with a small textual change. When people go to the parent portals project it states that binaries can be found under /portals. The only binaries to be found there are for pluto. If someone browses into /jakarta they can find jetspeed1, but AFAIK v2 isn't anywhere. I just think that some text somewhere on the jetspeed2 site that tells people that the only place to get it is from CVS would eliminate a lot of headaches.
If there is a tag that I should be using that is a known stable branch, I'd love to know about it.. the branch that was recommended to me was pre_portalurl_refactor_20041015, but that one doesn't build for me either (I don't have the errors handy).

Michael,
What problem did you encounter? There is a lot of activity in the project as it nears release, but everyone strives to avoid breaking early adopters.
Let us know!

Hi Elisabeth,
I had a working build for a few days from the head but I foolishly did an update and it hasn't worked since. One of the developers gave me a tag name to use, but it didn't work either. I downloaded exo so I can actually get some work done.. haven't configured it yet..
