All,

There have been many discussions about Jetspeed and JSP. JSP used to be
supported long ago for layouts, but the decorators have always been
somewhat of a challenge to write in JSP. Add the heavy use of
velocimacros in decorators to drive decarative menus, and things get
even more messy. Over time, J2 has become Velocity centric, much to to
alarm of JSP fans.

What is probably needed is a tag library or two to be written and some
configuration added to J2 itself to allow an alternative JSP content
generation step. AFAIK, it remains possible to use JSPs. And yes, you
are on the right track to understand the JPT and other APIs within J2.

I can provide some help with this, but I personally have no interest in
JSPs. I think the same can be said of all the existing committers. If
you wish to contribute to the project, I can help you get the JSP
implementation into Jetspeed 2, but you'll need to do the bulk of the
work.
