Hello,
Thank you for your clarification.
Could someone please confirm if this actually was the correct way to
build a custom portal?
Well, this is the current recommended approach:
http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2/Maven2BuildSupport
backed by the tutorial:
http://portals.apache.org/tutorials/jetspeed-2/
I understand what is already documented is *the* recommended
approach, but I was having problems building the tutorial as I
mentioned in the original post, so in the end I downloaded the
entire repository and editted the settings.xml to not point to any
mirrors, and the build ended successfully.
I was curious to find out if what I did was also another acceptable
way, because I'm currently considering to develop a custom portal on
Jetspeed in a non-internet-reachable environment during the
implementation and testing phases, so if you only need to simply
download a "clean" repository once, and not have to connect to any
mirrors, then that's a good news to me.
Recently, due to complaints from newbies about the difficulties of using
Maven-2, I decided to try a simpler method of building, with Ant +
Eclipse as described here:
http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/index.html
I've read a few correspondences in which you wrote about it, and I'm
very much interested in trying it out. The thing is, our
production environment will be FreeBSD/postgres, so my first
priority is to try running and developing a portal with Jetspeed on
FreeBSD/postgres, and to verify that Jetspeed indeed provides the
functions we need.
After that, I will need to setup a development environment, so I'm
expecting your new tutorial with Eclipse will be a great reference.
Thank you and best regards,
Sari
