[JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-728) Documentation for Getting Started omits crucial details

----------------------------------------
I googled the value for the persistence provider. I entered an incorrect value for the container ("JBOSS") and it prompted me for one of several JBOSS instances. The TAB technique I also found mentioned in a google result.
I had started with Forge 1.1.1, and that may have been the problem. I upgraded to 1.1.3 with no success. Removing ~/.forge directory seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you. No proxy.
I despair at software that is completely missing documentation, meaning that google is my only recourse. Try doing "help persistence" and see what I mean.
I am only trying out the software because in a year, I have to consider how to upgrade a Seam 2 project to run in a JBoss AS7/Seam 3/JBoss Forge world. So far, my trepidations have not been allayed.

------------------------------------------
Hi there, thanks for reporting these issues.
To answer your first question, press <TAB> to see a full list of valid values for those commands, I believe this is explained in the guide in that very section :)
"Press ENTER to confirm installation of any required facet dependencies and/or packaging types, and remember to press TAB if you are not sure what comes next."
Do you think that is sufficient, or how could we clarify this to prevent others from having the same problem?
As for your second question, what version of Forge are you using? Are you behind a proxy and have you followed the instructions for using Forge behind a proxy? If you have already done that, try deleting your ~/.forge/ directory and starting forge again.
Let me know how that goes.
Thanks,
~Lincoln
