Hi
Yes, i have exactly the same.
There are certain things in the tutorial that i never could be sure
of, for
which i have made certain assumptions:
1: tomcat-express
I never knew where this directory should have come from. It was not
in the
tutorial so what i did was that i created the directory myself and
then used
the jetspeed installer and installed a 'Jetspeed-2 Standard with
only the
required Administrative Portlets' in that directory.
From the Getting Started doc:
http://portals.apache.org/tutorials/jetspeed-2/01/first-steps.html
"For the purpose of the training, lets all use the same Tomcat home,
point it to the /JetspeedTraining/tomcat-express directory."
I guess I make assumptions about knowing what a Tomcat home is
2: mvn archetype:create ............ DarchetypeVersion=2.1
I could not find this in Maven. I downloaded version 2.1-dev
according to an
earlier mail out and manually created the directory structure in my
maven
local repository.
Its a Jetspeed plugin for Maven-2, it should auto download and install
3: This led to maven succeding until it asked for
jetspeed-2-2.1.pom which
it could not find from any where and finally according to one of the
previous mail outs i saw the path to download jetspeed-2-2.1-
dev.pom and i
manually added this to my maven local repository.
From there i arrived at the problem that i am experiencing now.
Thanks in advance

I am finding that getting started with Maven-2 is hard for developers
with varying experience levels. I just don't have to bandwidth to
hand hold people through all the problems that come up with the
tutorial + Maven2
The tutorial was originally written for a training class where I
provided a JetspeedTraining directory, so there may be assumptions
there as well that files exist when they don't
From all these problems on the list, I decided to abandon the
Maven-2 tutorial and started on a second tutorial with Ant, but I
never finished it due largely to poor reception from the community
If interested, you can walk through this tutorial up until section 2,
where I stopped writing
http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/
Basically I stopped working on it because all I received was negative
complaints about how people want to provide their own Tomcat, and how
useless the tutorial is by providing a Tomcat embedding in it
I took this as a cue that maybe I should get out of the tutorial
business
And that is where I stand currently, I will revisit this again in 2.2
when we rewrite the Maven-2 build and plugins and probably will focus
on 100% Eclipse/Maven-2-eclipse plugin based development for tutorials
I was planning on replacing the Maven-2 tutorial with the Ant
tutorial for 2.1.3 release, but stopped when the feedback was negative
