Re: [jdf-dev] PicketLink Federation Quickstarts

I'm ok about describing the order of deployment and dependencies at the top level/repository README file. Sande, can we follow this path ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pedro Igor Silva" <psilva(a)redhat.com&gt; To: "Sande Gilda" <sgilda(a)redhat.com&gt; Cc: "jdf-dev" <jdf-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Sent: Monday, February 24, 2014 4:56:52 PM Subject: Re: [jdf-dev] PicketLink Federation Quickstarts Sorry Sande, my bad :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sande Gilda" <sgilda(a)redhat.com&gt; To: "Jess Sightler" <jsightle(a)redhat.com&gt;, "Pedro Igor Silva" <psilva(a)redhat.com&gt; Cc: "jdf-dev" <jdf-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Sent: Monday, February 24, 2014 4:18:59 PM Subject: Re: [jdf-dev] PicketLink Federation Quickstarts I never suggested an EAR! I feel so misunderstood! ;-) Would a pattern similar to the inter-app quickstart work for this? See https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts/tree/6.3.x-devel...
