I find customizing jetspeed is easy the way I do it. Here's how I did it. From a fresh installation of jetexpress (the binary distribution) I created the jetexpress war and imported it as an eclipse project. I did the same for the j2-admin. Then, I imported the server.xml to the META-INF folder in the jetexpress project.

Now, I can customize the themes and the templates and export the war file easily. It would be nice to be able to do the same with source code. I need to add some functionality to the j2-admin. Unforetunately, thing are not that simple where I have to build from maven (I tried before and gave up), then I have to find a way to debug in eclipse and the worst part I have to keep on searching in js2 documentation.

I decided to give this a shot and check out only j2-admin from the SVN. Things did not go easily as I had to copy the libraries to the lib folder. I have checked out http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/jetspeed-2/trunk/applications/j2-admin/src/ as a dynamic web project and set the contents to "webapp" and the source to "java" folders. Then copied the missing libraries. One of the errors I am getting is in the class package org.apache.jetspeed.portlets.tracking.PortletTrackingPortlet . The error says:
"The hierarchy of the type PortletTrackingPortlet is inconsistent"

Any idea about how to start developing with the "j2-admin" only without going through the process of building with maven ?
