Good point, we definitely need a section on the archetypes, I'll add a stub. > > More comments below... > >> >> We start with a couple of introductory chapters - a brief overview of what >> Infinispan offers, instructions for how to download and install infinispan, >> and instructions on the GUIDemo (as it helps people visualise whats going >> on).
