IMO just those that are being created. We don’t need to update all quickstarts until EAP supports Java EE 7.

I don’t understand this either.

> 3) What's the link between https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart and https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts? In particular, what happens when we move to EAP 7. Will we copy across the WildFly quickstarts, or update the current JBoss Developer quickstarts to work with EAP 7 and Java EE 7?

WildFly Quickstarts are a fork of EAP quickstarts. We will need to merge the two forks at that point.

We can easily support individual quickstarts as being “early access” (which is the new terminology), if that helps.

Arun, are you able to help us by suggesting what the 5 most important features of Java EE 7 are to show off to developers? This gives us a place to start.
