Comment 1 sgilda 2013-10-01 12:07:22 UTC
The community version of the quickstarts do not contain the README.html files. 

Pete: Do we want to add them for the product branch?

Comment 2 sgilda 2013-10-01 16:04:39 UTC
I spoke with @pmuir and he believes we should not provide HTML files for the README.md files.

Can you give me a compelling reason why we need this?

Comment 3 Vladimir Rastseluev 2013-10-01 16:37:57 UTC
As I can see, *.md files contain links I can't use to look up resources. Am I doing something wrong?

Comment 4 sgilda 2013-10-01 16:49:12 UTC
No. When you view the README in GitHub or on the JDF site, the links appear. For example, the bean-validation quickstart README.md file renders here:

http://site-jdf.rhcloud.com/quickstarts/jboss-as-quickstart/bean-validation/

Comment 5 Vladimir Rastseluev 2013-10-01 17:23:17 UTC
I doubt, that customer downloaded quickstarts will be able to see anything on his local machine.

Comment 6 sgilda 2013-10-08 19:10:56 UTC
Updated instructions to use 'mvn clean install' and generated README.html files in this pull:

Reopening this bug.

On IRC today, Marek Schmid, Rafael Benevides, Paul Gier and I discussed this issue. It really does not make sense to add the HTML files to GitHub.THe markdown is the file of record and it is difficult to keep the html file in sync with it.

Instead, Paul will run the 'dist/release-utils.sh -m' script as part of the release process to generate the HTML files. This will assure that they are update to date and valid.

I will be submitting a pull to revert this change.
