JBoss Portal source build failed

[weixiazero]

I am a newcomer to JBoss product.

Here is my env:
MySQL database server version: mysql-5.0.19
Java version 1.4.2_08-b03
JBoss AS 4.0.3SP1(build: CVSTag=JBoss_4_0_3_SP1)
JBoss Portal 2.2.1RC3

1.From yestoday I downloaded jboss-portal in form of binary and tried to deploy in jboss AS ,now there is no error found in server.log,but when I
acessed it by use this : http://localhost:8080/portal/,I've got an error as follows:
javax.servlet.ServletException: No layout found for layout id generic
org.jboss.portal.server.servlet.PortalServlet.doGet(PortalServlet.java:227)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:697)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810)
org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:81)

2.I think there maybe something wrong with the binary code,then I tried to build it from source,_default:compile-classes:

[javac] Compiling 115 source files to D:\open source\new\JBoss\Portal\jboss-portal-2.2.1RC3-src\common\output\classes
[execmodules] javac: 1.4 ???? VM ????????
[execmodules] ???: javac <source files>got following error:

could anybody tell me if there is anything wrong with version of my JDK?
I saw from the guide that JDK 1.4 or higher (1.4.2 is recommended).
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have fixed the problem 2 which raised by ant.
what I have done is just to update my JDK to 1.4.2.11(originally it was 1.4.2.08)
But as to the former problem,it is still a knotty for me to resolve.
Will try my best....

As an aside, how do I build, so I do not get all the "DEBUG" messages?

Is there an environment variable or ant flag to set?

I am getting the exact same error. There was plenty of trial and error, but during the last run the tables were created in the mySQL database. No errors in log files that I could see.
