[opencms-dev] Making JSP Templates

[Russell Castagnaro]

More on This,

I've found that if I modify the jsp (actually xxx.jsp.jsp !!) templates in
~webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/jsp/offline/system/modules/org.opencms.welcome/jsptemplates

I can change the files there, but there is no 'templates' directory
beneath 'org.opencms.welcome'.

any ideas?

Thanks
