Hi all, Sande and Pete,

One significant change in JDF Quickstarts repo is the use of git submodules to bring remote quickstarts to JDF. But... Sometimes remote quickstarts doesn't ( and don't want/need to ) follow JDF Contributing guide ( https://github.com/jboss-jdf/jboss-as-quickstart/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md ).

There are some requirements from QSTools ( https://docspace.corp.redhat.com/docs/DOC-132902 ) that I believe that we should update to split in two categories ( desired and mandatory ).

The definitions bellow are what I see differences across JBoss projects:
 - package and groupId name (of course) - We already defined that using org.jboss.quickstarts.(eap|wfk|...) is optional from other Quickstarts (not JDF) but should be consistent within the product
 - License Headers
 - Spacing and Indentation formats

What do you think? Is it it desired to be more or less restrictive for other quickstarts and also turn it in an automated pattern?

I'm bringing this discussion mainly because it is a recurrent discussion for remote projects like
- Infinispan: https://github.com/infinispan/jdg-quickstart/pull/20#issuecomment-20968520
- GateIn: http://transcripts.jboss.org/channel/irc.freenode.org/%23jboss-jdf/2013/%23jboss-jdf.2013-06-21.log.html#t2013-06-21T13:39:31
- And probable new others like BRMS, Fuse and Switchyard Quickstarts.
