Hi Doug,
The instructions have no information about how to download WebSphere MQ,
how to configure it, where to get the RAR, etc. A quickstart needs to
have detailed instructions for every step in the process. Check out the
"Install and Configure the PostgreSQL Database" in the root readme file
for the quickstarts here for an example of what I'm talking about:
https://github.com/jboss-jdf/jboss-as-quickstart
My biggest concern is the ability to configure, test (including
automated tests), and support this quickstart. I still think there may
be a better location for this information.
Thanks,
Sande

We actually had a debate internally on the applicability of this
sample
code as a quickstart - for exactly the reasons that Sande lists.
I originally wrote the code in my own testing project, but after several
customer requests, we thought to do it in quickstart format.
I suspect that this might be a continuing theme. Use the quickstart
format for customer interactions, even if the specific topic may not
warrant inclusion on the main site.
Certainly, let me know how I can improve the instructions.
