Link to "download the sample code" not the same app as in Step 1 to clone the sample app #1162

I get two very different apps when I use the link to "download the sample code" (https://console.ng.bluemix.net/rest/apps/58adee20-ded3-44f6-93bb-5c0fbf587f7f/starter-download) near the top of the file, versus when I do a git clone of https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/get-started-java. Shouldn't they be pointing to the same sample starter code? If not, then why? And, where can I find the HelloServlet.zip from the first link above in github?

That is by design. Clicking the Download button is simply giving you the hello world starter. Following the guide and doing the git clone is meant to be a tutorial where you deploy a sample and learn how to set up your environment. This sample has a lot of code that most people probably won't want in their starter.

You are not meant to find the Hello World starter on github.

We tried to explain that in the description, but maybe we need to be more clear.
