I had the same problems, it may have to do with setting up the DataSource correctly. I'm using Tomcat and Jetspeed with the default hpersonic database - I solved it by setting up the DataSource correctly. To do this, I had to find the HSQL jdbc jar file, and copy it into CATALINA_HOME\common\lib directory. Then I set up the database using the Tomcat admin page.

Trying to use the Linux JDK 1.4.2_08 causes maven to just sit there and do nothing (running under Linux emulation layer on FreeBSD). Soooo, I tried installing everything on Windows. Got farther, but getting this error message in Tomcat's error logs: org.apache.jetspeed.execption.JetspeedException: Unable to create Engine Which if you go all the way to the bottom, is caused by: org.apache.jetspeed.prefs.PreferencesException: Failed to initialize prefs api. org.springframework.transaction.CAnnotCreateTransactionException: Could not create OJB transaction; nested exception is org.apache.ojb.broker.accesslayer.LookupException: SQLException thrown while trying to get Connection from Datasource (java:comp/env/jdbc/jetspeed) Any ideas?
