I am writing a JetSpeed 2 quickstart development guide for the impatient.

Requirements

JDK 1.4.1 or higher
Maven 1.0.2
Tomcat 5.5.12

Set the following environment variables.

Linux and Unix

export MAVEN_HOME=/home/opensource/apache-maven-1.0.2/
export CATALINA_HOME=/home/opensource/apache-tomcat-5.5.12/
export JETSPEED2_SRC=/home/opensource/jetspeed-2/

Windows

set MAVEN_HOME=/home/opensource/apache-maven-1.0.2/
set CATALINA_HOME=/home/opensource/apache-tomcat-5.5.12/
set JETSPEED2_SRC=/home/opensource/jetspeed-2/

Modify Tomcat's tomcat-users.xml to contain the following lines

 <role rolename="manager">
 <user username="j2deployer" password="j2deployer" roles="manager">

I don't understand why the org.apache.jetspeed.project.home is required. Can't this be obtained from Maven.

Tomcat 5.5 is telling me that "[/jetspeed] startup failed due to previous errors". The errors and warnings are in order of appearance.
