Re: Need information on how to get start to work with jetspeed2

Do take note of the earlier comments that suggests you don't need to build
your own copy of jetspeed and just use the installer.  Writing portlets is
a different problem and there are plenty of frameworks (e.g. spring) that
help.  Alternatively, for simple portlets, just using the raw portlet API
isn't hard.
