Ok, I added what I have so far (basically, how to run the examples).  
Can we chat offline about what else we want in there?

Do we want to use the sfwk.org style for this book? We should IMO, and  
it's very easy to switch.

EJB3 code is working, but a bug in the class discovery code for Ears,  
so you can't use it. Have told Ales, and hopefully he can fix soon.

If so, we need to choose another embedded EJB3.
