Hello,
This is to follow up on my own posting last week.

After asking the question last week, I did some more searching on
the mailing list and found out you can download the entire
repository, so I downloaded
http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven2/repository.zip, removed the
<Mirrors> section from settings.xml, generated the jetexpress portal
and built it.
I've finally got "mvn -P tomcat,min" to end successfully :-)
Now I can move on to the next step.

Could someone please confirm if this actually was the correct way to
build a custom portal?

So I recommend trying the Ant + Eclipse approach if you are having trouble with the recommended Maven-2 tutorial, or just Maven-2 itself
Beware that the Ant Tutorial only goes as far as section 01 a
I was hoping to receive feedback about how easy it was to use and if people found the getting started section, which they usually have so much difficulty with, easier than Maven Thus far I haven't really had an useful feedback to help me understand what people would prefer
