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.

Cheers,

Greg Trasuk
