Note, I am intentionally being very dumb when testing out these demos, and giving up at
the first sign of trouble to try to simulate a beginner ;-)
1) I wonder if the instructions would be better off on the wiki, as you need to do steps
before opening up the readme really (start the instances, download the zip etc.)
2) Instructions are pretty limited on some stuff, like what EC2 AMI to use, how to get
your software on there etc. At least some basics like AMI to use, links to EC2 docs would
be nice. (NB I spoke to Marek Goldman and he is publishing an AS6 AMI soon, that would
allow us to very easily make these instructions more concrete).
3) Include details about what ports to open etc.
4) Tutorial mentions specific jar versions, best to remove these to make it easier to
maintain
5) Tutorial mentions a bunch of jars but not where they are in the zip
6) Tutorial mentions infinispan-all.jar which I can't find, I guess it means
infinispan-core.jar
7) Tutorial talks about infinispan-ec2-demo-web.war which I can't find, guess it means
modules/ec2-ui/infinispan-ec2-demoui.war
8) This tutorial would be much better as a series of steps than as a set of paragraphs, I
was missing stuff out (the info is too dense)
9) I get this error when deploying the app
