Getting Started with JBoss AS7 CR1 in minutes - improvement

[gerry.matte]

Hi.

I followed the instructions in the blog while waiting for the JBoss Webinar.

When starting JBoss AS7 using the windows standalone.bat file, I kept getting an error that the file jboss-modules.jar could not be found.

It turns out that my production jboss environment was interfering:  specifically my JBOSS_HOME environment variable pointed to a jboss AS6 location and that bombed the AS7 standalone.bat.

I suggest that you insert a step in the "Getting Started ..." blog to either modify or delete any existing JBOSS_HOME before starting up AS7.

JBOSS_HOME should never be explicitly set. It will be set automatically within the scripts appropriately, to avoid issues exactly like this one. Thanks for raising this, we'll fix the documentation appropriately.

Can you please point us to that documentation?
