I have not bred them, but have raised the slings on fruit flies over the winter to 1/2-5/8" size. They stayed communal with minimal losses up to that size.
If you have two of opposite sex, I'd set up a tank with a lot of fake plants and release the male and then the female into the tank. Make sure the female is well fed prior to putting them together.

I just introduced a male on Saturday and he went straight to gettin jiggy wit it......it appeared to be a success since the female was hot to trot and willing.
He then retreated to the other side of the 5 gal tank. I checked up on them about two hours later and he had become dinner. I will keep you updated.

Be sure to keep the updates coming, I like the way this spider looks and would like to get some later, and hopefully achieve a couple sacs myself...
