Hi,
As I'm new to Java/J2EE (and therefore to JBoss Portal) development, I spend a lot of time discovering things and making mistakes... So I decided to write a little article to share my experience, get some feedback from people who already got there too and maybe help some people to start.
First of all, after installing Eclipse 3.1, I decided to configure it to retrieve the anonymous CVS version (to be as close as possible of the configuration needed for participating in the development). The reason why I chose to use Eclipse instead of the command line version of CVS is that I'm under Windows XP and I didn't want to bother with cygwin for instance.
Here is the only way I managed to get it done (but if someone has a better one, I would be pleased to know about it) :
- open a "CVS Repository Exploring" perspective
- create a "New/Repository Location"
- fill the dialog bow as shown http://ptournet.free.fr/Images/Posts/Eclipse01.JPG
- unfold the tree and choose "Refresh Branches..."
- check the "jboss-portal-2.0" check box and click "Finish"
- on the popping message box, click "Search Deeply"
- unfold the "Branches/JBoss_Portal_Branch_2_0"
- "Check Out As..." the "jboss-portal-2.0" node as shown http://ptournet.free.fr/Images/Posts/Eclipse02.JPG
Once done, you can go in the build directory to launch the "build.bat" file to proceed with the building of the whole project.
I hope that someone will find this usefull... Next step will be to configure the project in Eclipse so that all classes are known inside and that the build can be done from the IDE (as I haven't managed to do so at this time, any advice/help/comment is appreciate ;-))

PS : it seems that the "img" and "url" tags doesn't work very well on this forum, as the "Private Message" button, is this a known issue ?
