Hi Randy,
The error appears to be in importing some stuff from the commons codec 
project.  Specifically, the error (along with 25 other errors of a 
similar nature) is listed below.
Is this from a current CVS HEAD pull? If so, please send me your 
complete build output and the command you used to execute it. I am not 
sure, but it looks like your maven repository is not current somehow. 
Make sure you are not building with the -o maven options and that your 
maven.home.local build property is set correctly.

  When I first downloaded the project I was poking around and trying 
to resolve things, but I'm only passingly (well, increasingly) 
familiar with maven, and I didn't really want to get into it.  
Elisabeth's question highlights something else though, which is that, 
at least when I started trying to use the project, the text on the 
portals site is misleading:  as far as I can tell, there is no binary 
release to download.
There is not a binary version because it has never been released. 
Hopefully, it will be late this month.

  That effectively limits the users of the portal to those who can use 
cvs, and while the vast majority of us subscribe to a certain 
development orthodoxy that includes it, I'm sure there are lots of 
beginners out there that are finding the learning curve on their first 
project pretty steep.  I'm not saying it's good or bad, just that I'm 
sure the frustration I felt the first time I tried to get the project 
has probably been multiplied thousands of times over and could be 
corrected with a small textual change.  When people go to the parent 
portals project it states that binaries can be found under /portals.  
The only binaries to be found there are for pluto.  If someone browses 
into /jakarta they can find jetspeed1, but AFAIK v2 isn't anywhere.  I 
just think that some text somewhere on the jetspeed2 site that tells 
people that the only place to get it is from CVS would eliminate a lot 
of headaches. 
I am not a committer yet, but perhaps we can get the text changed. 
Better yet, we get a release out there so there are actual binaries!


If there is a tag that I should be using that is a known stable 
branch, I'd love to know about it.. the branch that was recommended to 
me was pre_portalurl_refactor_20041015, but that one doesn't build for 
me either (I don't have the errors handy). 
It builds and runs for many of us, so I am not sure a tag is going to 
fix the problem. The most current tag is: "pre_declarative_tx_20041028". 
I think we need to fix your build issue!

Michael,
What problem did you encounter? There is a lot of activity in the 
project as it nears release, but everyone strives to avoid breaking 
early adopters.

Let us know!

Hi Elisabeth,
I couldn't find it either.  It seems like the only way to get it is to 
check it out of CVS, assuming you know how to do that.  That said, I 
don't have any idea what tag is actually working.  I had a working build 
for a few days from the head but I foolishly did an update and it hasn't 
worked since.  One of the developers gave me a tag name to use, but it 
didn't work either.  I downloaded exo so I can actually get some work 
done.. haven't configured it yet..

I don't see any links from the Jetspeed 2 page.  All I can find is
Jetspeed 1.5.  

I'm probably missing something very obvious.  Thanks for the help.

Hi Elisabeth,
There is currently no binaries available for download for J2 so you will 
need check it out from CVS.   You can expect a milestone release of J2 
with binary distributions and a prepackaged portal with tomcat mid-november.
