I know people don't read the documentation, but this is absurd...
The minimal and demo distributions of Jetspeed 2.2.0 both contain the LICENSE.txt, README.html and RELEASE-NOTES.txt from JGoodies, and not, in fact, JPortal! That's:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/portals/jetspeed-2/binaries/jetspeed-installer-minimal-2.2.0.jar
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/portals/jetspeed-2/binaries/jetspeed-installer-demo-2.2.0.jar
Linked from http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/download.html Signatures on both archives confirmed as good, made by "David Sean Taylor <ta...@apache.org>"
For example:
bash-3.2$ ls
LICENSE-ant-install.txt README.html build.xml javax resources
LICENSE.txt RELEASE-NOTES.txt database.zip license tomcat-portal.zip
META-INF antinstall-config.xml images org
bash-3.2$ head RELEASE-NOTES.txt

Sorry, I've been working with uPortal, and managed to blend Jetspeed and uPortal in my head. What I meant is that if you unpack the JAR (sorry, my first instinct with any archive is to unpack it), the immediately visible documentation is for a completely different project.

No, this is mostly me not reading the documentation on the website, and so trying to unpack rather than run the installer, or I would have got into this confusion. I figured out later on what I'd done wrong, should have sent an update e-mail, apologies. Still, it would be good if the documentation in the top directory of the JAR was for Jetspeed, and any other project's documentation was kept elsewhere. Does that make more sense?

What do you mean by "and not, in fact, JPortal!"
We somehow indirectly use the JGoodies jar in our installer:
http://antinstaller.sourceforge.net/
To be honest Im not even sure why JGoodies is needed, or what it does.
Just doing my best to obey licensing requirements. Ant Installer seems
to require it. In the next release I'll see if I can remove it. Really
hope I didn't do something wrong. Sorry if Im being daft, but why is
this 'absurd'? What does JPortal have to do with JGoodies and the Ant
Installer anyway?
