There are two modes of operation in Jetspeed: "Portal" mode and
"Desktop" mode
You can checkout either one by navigating to (assuming running Tomcat
on localhost 8080):
# Portal mode
http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal
# Desktop mode
http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/desktop
When we wrote our Desktop page decorators, we gave examples in both
Velocity and JSP
The actual template used is configured in the
decoratordesktop.properties of each decorator:
desktop.template.extension=.jsp
(Unfortunately the documentation for 2.1 did not get completed, so
most of the desktop is undocumented)
For Portal mode, we have only implemented page decorations with Velocity
There is nothing keeping you from writing a JSP-based decoration
template, it should work

Yes, recommend creating your own page decoration to get rid the
action bars
It would be nice to have this parameterized as a feature though, so
that you don't have to go through all that trouble
Go ahead and create a JIRA issue if you think its worthwhile
