I'm not convinced you are actually supposed to be able to point your browser at these webapps. Not sure why that's the case but they don't appear the be configured with bindings/resources that the browser can exercise. Helloworld does though have an composite scoped component with and eager init configuration which causes the component to do something when the webapp starts. When I deploy helloworld.war from the trunk code (built this morning) I see the following output from Tomcat.

This is not very obvious. The other sames do include technologies that the browser can exercise so I guess that helloworld is just a baseline that doesn't do very much. helloworld-rest isn't in the build (and should be excluded from the distro) Simon
