Avro quick start guide/template now available.

[Patrick Hunt <ph...@apache.org>]

I've put together an Avro quick start, it's currently hosted on github:

http://github.com/phunt/avro-rpc-quickstart

this is basically a template/blueprint project that shows how to build & 
run an Avro RPC based project using either Ant/Ivy or Maven. As part of 
the work to support Maven I've also created a reusable Avro Maven plugin:

http://github.com/phunt/avro-maven-plugin

I'm not a maven expert (actually learning more about maven is one reason 
why I started this project), if there are any suggestions with either 
the maven aspects, or the project overall, please feel free to let me 
know. The code is Apache licensed, if there's sufficient interest I'd be 
happy to fold it into the official Avro source base at apache.org at 
some point.

Recently I've seen a few questions on the user list about how to get 
started. I thought I would just throw it together, turned out a bit more 
than I expected. Should be alot simpler now - be sure to let me know if 
you have any ideas/suggestions.

These sound great, Pat!  Thanks!

Perhaps you can add pointers to them on the Avro wiki?

Cheers,
