Hi Ondrej,

The jax-rs-client quickstart is an Arquillian test only and expands on the helloworld-rs quickstart. 

The Prerequisites section of the README state that this quickstart depends on the deployment of the helloworld-rs quickstart for its tests and explains how to verify that it deployed successfully.

The Run the Arquillian Tests section of the README states:
  1. Make sure you have started the JBoss Server as described above.
  2. Make sure the helloworld-rs quickstart has been deployed on the server as noted in the Prerequisites section above.
  3. Open a command line and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

  4. Type the following command to run the test goal with the following profile activated:

    mvn clean test
Do I need to modify the instructions somehow to make that more clear? Should I add a note that if you get an HTTP status: 404, it probably means you did not deploy the helloworld-rs quickstart as noted in the Prerequisites?

I'm not a Maven expert, so I'm not sure how we could make this foolproof for the users. I am copying Pete and Blaine since they know a lot more about this than me.

Thanks,
Sande

Hi Sande,

is this intentional?
IMO quickstarts should be foolproof, and one of ways to make it so should be that  `mvn clean install` should pass without requirements like "AS is running on port 8080".

WDYT?
