It's not really the code organization per se, but the build process.
The main difference is that with quickstart, you can build, deploy
and run with one command from source - 'mvn jetty:run'
You can also build a war (or ear) - 'mvn package', which you can then
deploy into any container (ie tomcat, jetty, jboss). I've seen a few
people on the list ask for this.
You can also build project files - 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' or 'mvn
idea:idea' so that it is easy to use your favourite IDE.
It just makes it very clear what is going on, whereas the current 16
step process, and the resultant sets of files can be quite confusing.
For a while I didn't even know what I was building. That said, it was
informative to see another way of setting up a project (aside from
the information garnered from jumpstart itself, once running).
The same clarity could be accomplished with an ant build file, if
maven isn't to your liking. I could probably help out a bit if needed.
Cheers,

Hi Julian,
I've just had a look at how quickstart is organized and it seems to
me that JumpStart's code organization is very similar. Was there
anything in particular that caught your eye, esp. anything that was
confusing about it?
Cheers,
Geoff

Thanks Geoff for continuing to make this available. It is proving
to be an invaluable resource in getting up to speed on Tap 5.
If I could make one suggestion, it would be to organize the code
as Howard has done for the quickstart tutorial.
Nevertheless, thanks again for all your efforts!

Hi all,
JumpStart 3.3.1 is now available. It fixes these bugs that were
in 3.3.0 which was released 2 days ago:
* Database was not updating. Due to not replacing
onValidateFromForm() with onValidateForm() everywhere.
* Links to components reference were using the old reference,
not the new one-page-per-component reference.
You'll find it at:

Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Be helpful or
brutal - I don't care which, because it all helps to make this
stuff more useful.
Cheers,
Geoff Callender
