This is specified here as "a note" since its been referenced down below
where the glassfish server image will be.. so i can add this is not
necessary, but wanted to specify since most of the build files refer this.

Isn't this sufficient? if user wants to build all sources, then use
bootstrap-all, if only few modules, then use bootstrap, more details are
there in FAQ.. we don't want to provide more sections or details other
than this in the Quickstart.
* bootstrap-all option: Building all the modules from the source.
% maven bootstrap-all build
* bootstrap option: Build your own module using pre-built server
% maven -Dmodules=mail bootstrap build

"runtime" is the one which is not compile-time, let me know other simple

there are no separate options one for configure and one for install,
just configure/install as some developers wants to know how to install
the server there, so just for understanding these terms of configuration.

yes this also is a option, but just specified so that if there are
multiple modules to clean. will clarify this.
