Hi Markus,

I extracted the source distribution under <Tomcat>/webapp/jetspeed. Then I made 
a project in Eclipse and selected the directory with jetspeed as source. Then 
you will have to put all the libs in appropriate directories and add the ones 
you need to the project (Right-click -> Properties -> Java Build Path). Do NOT 
create variables like Tomcat_HOME = c:\Tomcat, use the absolute paths.

This is your source to do everything, programming, etc.

Deploying is alot simpler. Get sysdeo eclipse plugin for tomcat, configure it 
and deploy/generate war files with one-click. 
http://www.java-tutor.com/java/eclipse/plugin/eclipse-plugins.html :)
Configure it correctly, so that it outputs the file in your <Tomcat>/webapps/ 
and set tomcat to autodeploy, and tomcat will deploy your every war file 
automatically.

Ciao,
  Tommaso
