j2-admin customization by using maven

[Drazen Kozic <dr...@asw.eu>]

Hi,

is there a way to customize j2-admin application by using Maven? What I 
want to do is following:
- add additional translation for ForgottenPasswordPortlet, LoginPortlet, 
ChgPwdPortlet
- add additional country flag images

I have already done this using custom Ant scripts. What I want now is to 
customize j2-admin using Maven. Is that possible?
We are successfully using maven and jetspeed maven plugins to build 
portal and portlat applications. Now we want to customize j2-admin in 
the same way.

Thanks

There is not a formal way to extend the j2-admin war. Probably the best way
to extend it is to use the maven war plugin and overlay your changes on top
of the j2-admin war.  See pom.xml below. (I just generated a war type
project with mvn archetype:generate to auto-generate the correct overlay
directory structure)

If you want to send the translations and images, I will check them into the
code base and they will get included into next release
