[windup-dev] Is windup for real?

[Brad Davis]

Steve,
I wanted to readdress your issues today.  

1) You can download the Windup 1.x executable from windup.jboss.org 
   - Click "Download Now" @ http://windup.jboss.org/download.html
2) Watch this video on how to Run Windup: 
   - https://www.youtube.com/embed/NwbTmWxZ3XI
3) There are other videos on the Guides page that describe how you read the reports.
   - http://windup.jboss.org/guides.html
4) There are two modes for running Windup: You can run against the source, or you can run against the deployable.  Both are documented on the guides page at the bottom:
   - URL: http://windup.jboss.org/guides.html
   - See: Quick Guide: Running Windup on Source
   - See: Quick Guide: Running Windup on Archives

Let me know if you run into problems with the Windup 1.x executable.  The 2.x codebase on Github is the alpha branch, and isn't anticipated for final release until October. 

Thanks,
Brad Davis

We are happy to look at your stack trace and solving that if you would rather. Otherwise, if you want to DEVELOP windup, check out the source, solve the stack trace, and send a pull request.

There's no easily findable documentation telling me what, in this massive directory tree I've built, to do if I want to USE windup, and that's what I need now.
