How to get iCalendar in use

Has anyone heard anything about this? I have trouble in finding stable
version of iCalendar.
  I gather that Jetspeed-1.2b1 (
http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/index.html ) is the last release
with iCalendar, but I can't get it working. Jetspeed-1.3a1 works fine,
but there isn't iCalendar anymore. I heard that ePortal (
http://www.jcorporate.com/components/internal/projframe.jsp?category=66
) is going to include iCalendar, but there isn't any release yet. Could
you help me?

Yes, that was the intent, however please note the future tense :(

One I can tell you, the iCalendar code within Jetspeed will *not* answer
this need directly. However if you have a development team, they can use
it as a basis for a calendar system.

Well, there are a couple of web calendar projects out there, but
surprisingly no java based ones. At least none with an acceptable
license :-)
When I say calendar I mean something like the lotus organizer, which,
admittedly does much more than just calendaring. 
It would indeed be neat to have set of, say, portlet with this
functionality (some kind of groupware stuff, scheduling, etc.)

Cheers, 

Chris

Not sure what exactly you want to do. I know of a GPL'd JavaScript
calendar that worked pretty well for my needs:

Hope this helps.

That's different from what i read from
Jetspeed-1.3a1/docs/site/iCalendar.html:
"iCalendar is going to be used in Jetspeed as a basis for a web based
calendar. A decision was made by the author to go with the iCalendar
protocol rather than hack together a calendar we might outgrow. At first
there will be no support for writing a valid iCalendar stream. The
iCalendar objects will simply provide support for web-based calendaring,
but as time moves on we will add support for writing the iCalendar
protocol."

please point it out to me.

What do you want to do with iCalendar ?
As far as I know the iCalendar code that was in the Jetspeed CVS was
mainly trying ro provide iCal protocol support in Java but was not an
implementation of a Calendar as a portlet in Jetspeed.

If you're interested in the iCal protocol support, you can use completely
independantly of Jetspeed proper. If you're interested in a Calendar portlet,
1.2b1 does *not* provide you with one.

Some more progress: now I get the login screen, but after that I get the
following error message:
(And I don't object, if someone tells me how to use iCalendar with later
versions of JetSpeed, so I don't have to mess around with 1.2b1 ;-)

Please keep in mind, that my original concern was to get iCalendar
working. 1.2b1 is the last release with iCalendar. If someone knows how
to use it with later versions, please inform me.

Please,

Don't waste your time on 1.2b1.
It's hardly supported and is light years behind the current CVS development.

To be frank, I don't even remember how to setup 1.2b1.

If you want to use a released version, use 1.3a1. If you want to use the best

version available, use the current CVS.

I still haven't managed to start jetspeed-1.2b1 properly. However, I've
made some progress: now I get this kind of Turbine-related error
message. Could someone give me a hand?
