Thanks for the help. Reading over your (and Aram's) thread replies, and then going back through the start of the tutorial, I think I was just missing a zip file: resources.zip.
Here is the essential probem: This page: http://portals.apache.org/tutorials/jetspeed-2-ant/01/first-steps.html ...takes you to this download dir: http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/ ...and one would have to assume that one would need to download ALL the zip files.... ...but this link in the next paragraph in the tutorial: http://portals.apache.org/tutorials/jetspeed-2-ant/references/tutorial_distribution.html ...does not mention resources.zip, so a lot of programmers will naturally assume that resources.zip is not needed. A quick fix would be to add resources.zip to the "Tutorial Distribution Kit" page. I would be happy to do this myself, if I knew the logistics for making contributions to apache, which I've never done before. Is it simple?
