 All of MLlib's methods use Java-friendly types, so you can import and call them there the same
 way you do in Scala. The only caveat is that the methods take Scala RDD objects, while the
 Spark Java API uses a separate `JavaRDD` class. You can convert a Java RDD to a Scala one by
-calling `.rdd()` on your `JavaRDD` object.
+calling `.rdd()` on your `JavaRDD` object. A standalone application example

+Applications](quick-start.html) of the quick-start guide. What is more, you
