Hi Dennis: As with Pat’s comments, thanks for the input. One loses the “beginner’s eye” after working on something for a while.
Anyhow, the README instructions are intended as a “bootstrap” that gets you to the real instructions that are in the site that’s built when you run ‘mvn site’. However, as Pat has already found out, Eclipse and NetBeans bundle an older version of Maven that doesn’t know Markdown. See my other message for instructions. For your convenience, I’ve copied the site onto my ‘people.apache.org’ site: http://people.apache.org/~gtrasuk/river/getting-started/ The testing folders are a Maven artifact. I’m all for a testing example, but the code contained in the hello-service is too trivial to bother creating unit-tests for, IMO.
