The reason I suggested this because, I thought you need to customize
portlet.xml for the j2-admin, and remove/disable some portlets. For
example in j2-admin you can find the portlet description:
<portlet id="GroupDetailsPortlet">
<description>
The Group Details portlet displays a groups details in a tabbed view. From
here you can add, edit, and delete Group information. Place this portlet on
the same page as the Group Browser
portlet.
</description>
<portlet-name>GroupDetailsPortlet</portlet-name>
<display-name>Group Details</display-name>
<portlet-class>org.apache.jetspeed.portlets.security.groups.GroupDetails</portlet-class>
<init-param>
<description>This parameter sets the template used in view
mode.</description>
<name>ViewPage</name>
<value>/WEB-INF/security/groups/group-details.vm</value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<name>portlet-icon</name>
<value>network-workgroup.png</value>
</init-param>
<expiration-cache>-1</expiration-cache>
<supports>
<mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
<portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
<!-- not implemented yet
<portlet-mode>EDIT</portlet-mode>
<portlet-mode>HELP</portlet-mode>

</supports>
<supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
<resource-bundle>org.apache.jetspeed.portlets.security.resources.GroupDetailsResources</resource-bundle>
<portlet-info>
<title>Group Detail Information</title>
<short-title>Group</short-title>
<keywords>admin,security,group</keywords>
</portlet-info>
</portlet>
One way you can disable this, is by removing/commenting-out this
section. Another way is to remove the code in the ViewPage. In other
words, put an empty file for the view. GroupDetailsPortlet supports only
ONE mode (VIEW, other portlets support EDIT and HELP). If youa have
written portlets, you know that for every mode, there's a template file
in velocity or jsp that specifies how the portlet has to appear.
Usually we do customize portlets, in the themes. So this will apply to
all the portlets. I am imaging you need to replace an existing
control(ie. check box with drop down) , or add/remove a filed, In this
case, yes, the view of the portlet is the place to modify.

I don't understand what you mean here, but guessing: when you modify the
file, j2-admin doesn't work? If this is the case? did you restart the
server ? Did you try to clean the work dir or the previous dir from
j2-admin ?
The page you pointed to doesn't
show anything about the build. Where is't failing, and what message are
you getting (if that's the case).
Can you please be more specific here ?
