One thing I pretty much immediately stumbled across and wanted to check back
on before proceeding: The documentation (chapter 2, "Running the
examples...") explains how to install and run the sample projects using
maven2 (which would be fine to me by the way), however after installing
Jersey using the gfv3-b28 updatetool, I find the projects in
gfv3-b28/jersey/examples/ to be not maven2 projects after all:

- Using mvn compile exec:java , as stated, just logically ends in an error
complaining that no maven project (no pom.xml) is found there.

- Looking at the README.html however explains how to get it done (using ant
ant "ant run" in, say, "HelloWorld" sample folder...).

So overally, what's the point? Ant or maven2? Outdated examples or a mistake
in the documentation? Maybe a simple thing but maybe also an early show
stopper to some... :)

Comments?

TIA,
Kristian
