Updated tutorial: Java Quick Start Tutorial

[Geertjan Wielenga <ge...@googlemail.com.INVALID>]

Hi all,

We're in the process of moving learning trails and tutorials from
netbeans.org to netbeans.apache.org, using Asciidoc, as well as GitHub, so
that anyone is able to suggest changes to tutorials via pull requests on
GitHub.

Action item for everyone: below is the new and updated quick start, take a
look, what do you think of it, any comments?

https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/java/quickstart.html

The above is the Apache NetBeans version of this tutorial:

https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/quickstart.html

Part of what we're doing is using this opportunity to rework the tutorials
a bit, in this case, simplifying it and giving it a stronger focus on
letting the complete newbie get to a point of success more quickly.

And do others want to get involved in the process of reviewing, tweaking,
fixing tutorials? Here's the issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1867

In any case, comments on the tutorial above are needed!

Thanks,

Gj

Hi Geertjan,

From a quick look, my first thought is that perhaps Maven should be the
default instead of Ant.

Otherwise it seems fine. Short and sweet.
