Dear Jim, I just began playing with Immutant and TorqueBox. I realized the polyglot-openshift-quickstart* @ *GitHub is marked as obsolete. I found links to newer versions of immutant-quickstart and torquebox-quickstart, though as separate applications. Is there documentation or a tutorial on how to get TorqueBox and Immutant merged into a single OpenShift application, ala "lein immutant overlay torquebox"?
