Jacques,

you have to use the maven buildsystem. Ant isn't working anymore.

The HOJ tutorial is the only one out there. The other is to look at
app-crud, app-scheduler as examples.

The project.xml for HOJ may not be as up to date as the one for the default
project.
So, start with the keel-build/example-projects/default project,
and make sure you get it to build/deploy fine. Once deployed, make sure
to login as "root/root" and try out CRUD/POLL etc.

Once there, instead of copying the project.xml from app-hoj, just add a
dependency for app-hoj manually into default's project.xml.

HTH,
-Raj
