Maybe then, before RC3, we should take a step back and make sure we're happy with the way we expect users to run samples and the way that samples are documented. For running samples there should be a consistent default way for running samples. Ant? Maven? something else? This should be true regardless of the wealth of mechanisms we describe in the running-tuscany samples. We have moved the sample documentation to the web site. As an aside need to move our website to the new content management thing. While I like having the instructions in HTML form I don't think having them separate from each sample has worked out very well.
