+# VMware Builder (from ISO)
+
+Type: `vmware-iso`
+
+This VMware builder is able to create VMware virtual machines from an
+ISO file as a source. It currently
+supports building virtual machines on hosts running
+[VMware Fusion](http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html) for OS X,
+[VMware Workstation](http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/overview.html)
+for Linux and Windows, and
+[VMware Player](http://www.vmware.com/products/player/) on Linux. It can
+also build machines directly on
+[VMware vSphere Hypervisor](http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/)
+using SSH as opposed to the vSphere API.
+
+The builder builds a virtual machine by creating a new virtual machine
+from scratch, booting it, installing an OS, provisioning software within
+the OS, then shutting it down. The result of the VMware builder is a directory
+containing all the files necessary to run the virtual machine.
+
+## Basic Example
+
+Here is a basic example. This example is not functional. It will start the
+OS installer but then fail because we don't provide the preseed file for
+Ubuntu to self-install. Still, the example serves to show the basic configuration:
+
+<pre class="prettyprint">
+{
+  "type": "vmware-iso",
+  "iso_url": "http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/ubuntu-12.04.2-server-amd64.iso",
+  "iso_checksum": "af5f788aee1b32c4b2634734309cc9e9",
+  "iso_checksum_type": "md5",
+  "ssh_username": "packer",
+  "ssh_wait_timeout": "30s",
+  "shutdown_command": "shutdown -P now"
+}
+</pre>
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+There are many configuration options available for the VMware builder.
+They are organized below into two categories: required and optional. Within
+each category, the available options are alphabetized and described.
+
+Required:
+
+* `iso_checksum` (string) - The checksum for the OS ISO file. Because ISO
+  files are so large, this is required and Packer will verify it prior
+  to booting a virtual machine with the ISO attached. The type of the
+  checksum is specified with `iso_checksum_type`, documented below.
+
+* `iso_checksum_type` (string) - The type of the checksum specified in
+  `iso_checksum`. Valid values are "md5", "sha1", "sha256", or "sha512" currently.
+
+* `iso_url` (string) - A URL to the ISO containing the installation image.
+  This URL can be either an HTTP URL or a file URL (or path to a file).
+  If this is an HTTP URL, Packer will download it and cache it between
+  runs.
+
+* `ssh_username` (string) - The username to use to SSH into the machine
+  once the OS is installed.
+
+Optional:
+
+* `boot_command` (array of strings) - This is an array of commands to type
+  when the virtual machine is firsted booted. The goal of these commands should
+  be to type just enough to initialize the operating system installer. Special
+  keys can be typed as well, and are covered in the section below on the boot
+  command. If this is not specified, it is assumed the installer will start
+  itself.
+
+* `boot_wait` (string) - The time to wait after booting the initial virtual
+  machine before typing the `boot_command`. The value of this should be
+  a duration. Examples are "5s" and "1m30s" which will cause Packer to wait
+  five seconds and one minute 30 seconds, respectively. If this isn't specified,
+  the default is 10 seconds.
+
+* `disk_size` (int) - The size of the hard disk for the VM in megabytes.
+  The builder uses expandable, not fixed-size virtual hard disks, so the
+  actual file representing the disk will not use the full size unless it is full.
+  By default this is set to 40,000 (40 GB).
+
+* `disk_type_id` (string) - The type of VMware virtual disk to create.
+  The default is "1", which corresponds to a growable virtual disk split in
+  2GB files.  This option is for advanced usage, modify only if you
+  know what you're doing.  For more information, please consult the
+  [Virtual Disk Manager User's Guide](http://www.vmware.com/pdf/VirtualDiskManager.pdf)
+  for desktop VMware clients. For ESXi, refer to the proper ESXi documentation.
+
+* `floppy_files` (array of strings) - A list of files to put onto a floppy
+  disk that is attached when the VM is booted for the first time. This is
+  most useful for unattended Windows installs, which look for an
+  `Autounattend.xml` file on removable media. By default no floppy will
+  be attached. The files listed in this configuration will all be put
+  into the root directory of the floppy disk; sub-directories are not supported.
+
+* `guest_os_type` (string) - The guest OS type being installed. This will be
+  set in the VMware VMX. By default this is "other". By specifying a more specific
+  OS type, VMware may perform some optimizations or virtual hardware changes
+  to better support the operating system running in the virtual machine.
+
+* `headless` (bool) - Packer defaults to building VMware
+  virtual machines by launching a GUI that shows the console of the
+  machine being built. When this value is set to true, the machine will
+  start without a console. For VMware machines, Packer will output VNC
+  connection information in case you need to connect to the console to
+  debug the build process.
+
+* `http_directory` (string) - Path to a directory to serve using an HTTP
+  server. The files in this directory will be available over HTTP that will
+  be requestable from the virtual machine. This is useful for hosting
+  kickstart files and so on. By default this is "", which means no HTTP
+  server will be started. The address and port of the HTTP server will be
+  available as variables in `boot_command`. This is covered in more detail
+  below.
+
+* `http_port_min` and `http_port_max` (int) - These are the minimum and
+  maximum port to use for the HTTP server started to serve the `http_directory`.
+  Because Packer often runs in parallel, Packer will choose a randomly available
+  port in this range to run the HTTP server. If you want to force the HTTP
+  server to be on one port, make this minimum and maximum port the same.
+  By default the values are 8000 and 9000, respectively.
+
+* `iso_urls` (array of strings) - Multiple URLs for the ISO to download.
+  Packer will try these in order. If anything goes wrong attempting to download
+  or while downloading a single URL, it will move on to the next. All URLs
+  must point to the same file (same checksum). By default this is empty
+  and `iso_url` is used. Only one of `iso_url` or `iso_urls` can be specified.
+
+* `output_directory` (string) - This is the path to the directory where the
+  resulting virtual machine will be created. This may be relative or absolute.
+  If relative, the path is relative to the working directory when `packer`
+  is executed. This directory must not exist or be empty prior to running the builder.
+  By default this is "output-BUILDNAME" where "BUILDNAME" is the name
+  of the build.
+
+* `remote_type` (string) - The type of remote machine that will be used to
+  build this VM rather than a local desktop product. The only value accepted
+  for this currently is "esx5". If this is not set, a desktop product will be
+  used. By default, this is not set.
+
+* `remote_datastore` (string) - The path to the datastore where the resulting
+  VM will be stored when it is built on the remote machine. By default this
+  is "datastore1". This only has an effect if `remote_type` is enabled.
+
+* `remote_host` (string) - The host of the remote machine used for access.
+  This is only required if `remote_type` is enabled.
+
+* `remote_password` (string) - The SSH password for the user used to
+  access the remote machine. By default this is empty. This only has an
+  effect if `remote_type` is enabled.
+
+* `remote_username` (string) - The username for the SSH user that will access
+  the remote machine. This is required if `remote_type` is enabled.
+
+* `skip_compaction` (bool) -  VMware-created disks are defragmented
+  and compacted at the end of the build process using `vmware-vdiskmanager`.
+  In certain rare cases, this might actually end up making the resulting disks
+  slightly larger. If you find this to be the case, you can disable compaction
+  using this configuration value.
+
+* `shutdown_command` (string) - The command to use to gracefully shut down
+  the machine once all the provisioning is done. By default this is an empty
+  string, which tells Packer to just forcefully shut down the machine.
+
+* `shutdown_timeout` (string) - The amount of time to wait after executing
+  the `shutdown_command` for the virtual machine to actually shut down.
+  If it doesn't shut down in this time, it is an error. By default, the timeout
+  is "5m", or five minutes.
+
+* `ssh_key_path` (string) - Path to a private key to use for authenticating
+  with SSH. By default this is not set (key-based auth won't be used).
+  The associated public key is expected to already be configured on the
+  VM being prepared by some other process (kickstart, etc.).
+
+* `ssh_password` (string) - The password for `ssh_username` to use to
+  authenticate with SSH. By default this is the empty string.
+
+* `ssh_port` (int) - The port that SSH will listen on within the virtual
+  machine. By default this is 22.
+
+* `ssh_skip_request_pty` (bool) - If true, a pty will not be requested as
+  part of the SSH connection. By default, this is "false", so a pty
+  _will_ be requested.
+
+* `ssh_wait_timeout` (string) - The duration to wait for SSH to become
+  available. By default this is "20m", or 20 minutes. Note that this should
+  be quite long since the timer begins as soon as the virtual machine is booted.
+
+* `tools_upload_flavor` (string) - The flavor of the VMware Tools ISO to
+  upload into the VM. Valid values are "darwin", "linux", and "windows".
+  By default, this is empty, which means VMware tools won't be uploaded.
+
+* `tools_upload_path` (string) - The path in the VM to upload the VMware
+  tools. This only takes effect if `tools_upload_flavor` is non-empty.
+  This is a [configuration template](/docs/templates/configuration-templates.html)
+  that has a single valid variable: `Flavor`, which will be the value of
+  `tools_upload_flavor`. By default the upload path is set to
+  `{{.Flavor}}.iso`.
+
+* `vm_name` (string) - This is the name of the VMX file for the new virtual
+  machine, without the file extension. By default this is "packer-BUILDNAME",
+  where "BUILDNAME" is the name of the build.
+
+* `vmdk_name` (string) - The filename of the virtual disk that'll be created,
+  without the extension. This defaults to "packer".
+
+* `vmx_data` (object, string keys and string values) - Arbitrary key/values
+  to enter into the virtual machine VMX file. This is for advanced users
+  who want to set properties such as memory, CPU, etc.
+
+* `vnc_port_min` and `vnc_port_max` (int) - The minimum and maximum port to
+  use for VNC access to the virtual machine. The builder uses VNC to type
+  the initial `boot_command`. Because Packer generally runs in parallel, Packer
+  uses a randomly chosen port in this range that appears available. By default
+  this is 5900 to 6000. The minimum and maximum ports are inclusive.
+
+* `vmx_template_path` (string) - Path to a
+  [configuration template](/docs/templates/configuration-templates.html) that
+  defines the contents of the virtual machine VMX file for VMware. This is
+  for **advanced users only** as this can render the virtual machine
+  non-functional. See below for more information. For basic VMX modifications,
+  try `vmx_data` first.
+
+## Boot Command
+
+The `boot_command` configuration is very important: it specifies the keys
+to type when the virtual machine is first booted in order to start the
+OS installer. This command is typed after `boot_wait`, which gives the
+virtual machine some time to actually load the ISO.
+
+As documented above, the `boot_command` is an array of strings. The
+strings are all typed in sequence. It is an array only to improve readability
+within the template.
+
+The boot command is "typed" character for character over a VNC connection
+to the machine, simulating a human actually typing the keyboard. There are
+a set of special keys available. If these are in your boot command, they
+will be replaced by the proper key:
+
+* `<enter>` and `<return>` - Simulates an actual "enter" or "return" keypress.
+
+* `<esc>` - Simulates pressing the escape key.
+
+* `<tab>` - Simulates pressing the tab key.
+
+* `<wait>` `<wait5>` `<wait10>` - Adds a 1, 5 or 10 second pause before sending any additional keys. This
+  is useful if you have to generally wait for the UI to update before typing more.
+
+In addition to the special keys, each command to type is treated as a
+[configuration template](/docs/templates/configuration-templates.html).
+The available variables are:
+
+* `HTTPIP` and `HTTPPort` - The IP and port, respectively of an HTTP server
+  that is started serving the directory specified by the `http_directory`
+  configuration parameter. If `http_directory` isn't specified, these will
+  be blank!
+
+Example boot command. This is actually a working boot command used to start
+an Ubuntu 12.04 installer:
+
+<pre class="prettyprint">
+[
+  "&lt;esc&gt;&lt;esc&gt;&lt;enter&gt;&lt;wait&gt;",
+  "/install/vmlinuz noapic ",
+  "preseed/url=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/preseed.cfg ",
+  "debian-installer=en_US auto locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us ",
+  "hostname={{ .Name }} ",
+  "fb=false debconf/frontend=noninteractive ",
+  "keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP keyboard-configuration/layout=USA ",
+  "keyboard-configuration/variant=USA console-setup/ask_detect=false ",
+  "initrd=/install/initrd.gz -- &lt;enter&gt;"
+]
+</pre>
+
+## VMX Template
+
+The heart of a VMware machine is the "vmx" file. This contains all the
+virtual hardware metadata necessary for the VM to function. Packer by default
+uses a [safe, flexible VMX file](https://github.com/mitchellh/packer/blob/20541a7eda085aa5cf35bfed5069592ca49d106e/builder/vmware/step_create_vmx.go#L84).
+But for advanced users, this template can be customized. This allows
+Packer to build virtual machines of effectively any guest operating system
+type.
+
+<div class="alert alert-block alert-warn">
+<p>
+<strong>This is an advanced feature.</strong> Modifying the VMX template
+can easily cause your virtual machine to not boot properly. Please only
+modify the template if you know what you're doing.
+</p>
+</div>
+
+Within the template, a handful of variables are available so that your
+template can continue working with the rest of the Packer machinery. Using
+these variables isn't required, however.
+
+* `Name` - The name of the virtual machine.
+* `GuestOS` - The VMware-valid guest OS type.
+* `DiskName` - The filename (without the suffix) of the main virtual disk.
+* `ISOPath` - The path to the ISO to use for the OS installation.
+
+## Building on a Remote vSphere Hypervisor
+
+In addition to using the desktop products of VMware locally to build
+virtual machines, Packer can use a remote VMware Hypervisor to build
+the virtual machine.
+
+When using a remote VMware Hypervisor, the builder still downloads the
+ISO and various files locally, and uploads these to the remote machine.
+Packer currently uses SSH to communicate to the ESXi machine rather than
+the vSphere API. At some point, the vSphere API may be used.
+
+To use a remote VMware vSphere Hypervisor to build your virtual machine,
+fill in the required `remote_*` configurations:
+
+* `remote_type` - This must be set to "esx5".
+
+* `remote_host` - The host of the remote machine.
+
+Additionally, there are some optional configurations that you'll likely
+have to modify as well:
+
+* `remote_datastore` - The path to the datastore where the VM will be
+  stored on the ESXi machine.
+
+* `remote_username` - The SSH username used to access the remote machine.
+
+* `remote_password` - The SSH password for access to the remote machine.

+# VMware Builder (from VMX)
+
+Type: `vmware-vmx`
+
+This VMware builder is able to create VMware virtual machines from an
+existing VMware virtual machine (a VMX file). It currently
+supports building virtual machines on hosts running
+[VMware Fusion](http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html) for OS X,
+[VMware Workstation](http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/overview.html)
+for Linux and Windows, and
+[VMware Player](http://www.vmware.com/products/player/) on Linux.
+
+The builder builds a virtual machine by cloning the VMX file using
+the clone capabilities introduced in VMware Fusion 6, Workstation 10,
+and Player 6. After cloning the VM, it provisions software within the
+new machine, shuts it down, and compacts the disks. The resulting folder
+contains a new VMware virtual machine.
+
+## Basic Example
+
+Here is an example. This example is fully functional as long as the source
+path points to a real VMX file with the proper settings:
+
+<pre class="prettyprint">
+{
+  "type": "vmware-vmx",
+  "source_path": "/path/to/a/vm.vmx",
+  "ssh_username": "root",
+  "ssh_password": "root",
+  "shutdown_command": "shutdown -P now"
+}
+</pre>
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+There are many configuration options available for the VMware builder.
+They are organized below into two categories: required and optional. Within
+each category, the available options are alphabetized and described.
+
+Required:
+
+* `source_path` (string) - Path to the source VMX file to clone.
+
+* `ssh_username` (string) - The username to use to SSH into the machine
+  once the OS is installed.
+
+Optional:
+
+* `boot_wait` (string) - The time to wait after booting the initial virtual
+  machine before typing the `boot_command`. The value of this should be
+  a duration. Examples are "5s" and "1m30s" which will cause Packer to wait
+  five seconds and one minute 30 seconds, respectively. If this isn't specified,
+  the default is 10 seconds.
+

+  disk that is attached when the VM is booted for the first time. This is
+  most useful for unattended Windows installs, which look for an
+  `Autounattend.xml` file on removable media. By default no floppy will
+  be attached. The files listed in this configuration will all be put
+  into the root directory of the floppy disk; sub-directories are not supported.
+
+* `headless` (bool) - Packer defaults to building VMware
+  virtual machines by launching a GUI that shows the console of the

 # VMware Builder
 
-Type: `vmware`
-
-The VMware builder is able to create VMware virtual machines. It currently
-supports building virtual machines on hosts running
-[VMware Fusion](http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html) for OS X,
-[VMware Workstation](http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/overview.html)
-for Linux and Windows, and
-[VMware Player](http://www.vmware.com/products/player/) on Linux. It can
-also build machines directly on
-[VMware vSphere Hypervisor](http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/)
-using SSH as opposed to the vSphere API.
-
-The builder builds a virtual machine by creating a new virtual machine
-from scratch, booting it, installing an OS, provisioning software within
-the OS, then shutting it down. The result of the VMware builder is a directory
-containing all the files necessary to run the virtual machine.
-
-## Basic Example
-
-Here is a basic example. This example is not functional. It will start the
-OS installer but then fail because we don't provide the preseed file for
-Ubuntu to self-install. Still, the example serves to show the basic configuration:
-
-<pre class="prettyprint">
-{
-  "type": "vmware",
-  "iso_url": "http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/ubuntu-12.04.2-server-amd64.iso",
-  "iso_checksum": "af5f788aee1b32c4b2634734309cc9e9",
-  "iso_checksum_type": "md5",
-  "ssh_username": "packer",
-  "ssh_wait_timeout": "30s",
-  "shutdown_command": "shutdown -P now"
-}

-
-* `iso_url` (string) - A URL to the ISO containing the installation image.
-  This URL can be either an HTTP URL or a file URL (or path to a file).
-  If this is an HTTP URL, Packer will download it and cache it between
-  runs.
-

-
-* `floppy_files` (array of strings) - A list of files to put onto a floppy
-  disk that is attached when the VM is booted for the first time. This is
-  most useful for unattended Windows installs, which look for an

-  server. The files in this directory will be available over HTTP that will
-  be requestable from the virtual machine. This is useful for hosting
-  kickstart files and so on. By default this is "", which means no HTTP
-  server will be started. The address and port of the HTTP server will be
-  available as variables in `boot_command`. This is covered in more detail
-  below.

-
-* `iso_urls` (array of strings) - Multiple URLs for the ISO to download.
-  Packer will try these in order. If anything goes wrong attempting to download
-  or while downloading a single URL, it will move on to the next. All URLs
-  must point to the same file (same checksum). By default this is empty
-  and `iso_url` is used. Only one of `iso_url` or `iso_urls` can be specified.
-
-* `output_directory` (string) - This is the path to the directory where the
-  resulting virtual machine will be created. This may be relative or absolute.
-  If relative, the path is relative to the working directory when `packer`
-  is executed. This directory must not exist or be empty prior to running the builder.
-  By default this is "output-BUILDNAME" where "BUILDNAME" is the name
-  of the build.
-
-* `remote_type` (string) - The type of remote machine that will be used to
-  build this VM rather than a local desktop product. The only value accepted
-  for this currently is "esx5". If this is not set, a desktop product will be
-  used. By default, this is not set.
-
-* `remote_datastore` (string) - The path to the datastore where the resulting
-  VM will be stored when it is built on the remote machine. By default this
-  is "datastore1". This only has an effect if `remote_type` is enabled.
-
-* `remote_host` (string) - The host of the remote machine used for access.
-  This is only required if `remote_type` is enabled.
-
-* `remote_password` (string) - The SSH password for the user used to
-  access the remote machine. By default this is empty. This only has an
-  effect if `remote_type` is enabled.
-
-* `remote_username` (string) - The username for the SSH user that will access
-  the remote machine. This is required if `remote_type` is enabled.
-
-* `skip_compaction` (bool) -  VMware-created disks are defragmented
-  and compacted at the end of the build process using `vmware-vdiskmanager`.
-  In certain rare cases, this might actually end up making the resulting disks
-  slightly larger. If you find this to be the case, you can disable compaction
-  using this configuration value.
-
-* `shutdown_command` (string) - The command to use to gracefully shut down
-  the machine once all the provisioning is done. By default this is an empty
-  string, which tells Packer to just forcefully shut down the machine.
-
-* `shutdown_timeout` (string) - The amount of time to wait after executing
-  the `shutdown_command` for the virtual machine to actually shut down.
-  If it doesn't shut down in this time, it is an error. By default, the timeout
-  is "5m", or five minutes.
-
-* `ssh_key_path` (string) - Path to a private key to use for authenticating
-  with SSH. By default this is not set (key-based auth won't be used).
-  The associated public key is expected to already be configured on the
-  VM being prepared by some other process (kickstart, etc.).
-
-* `ssh_password` (string) - The password for `ssh_username` to use to
-  authenticate with SSH. By default this is the empty string.
-
-* `ssh_port` (int) - The port that SSH will listen on within the virtual
-  machine. By default this is 22.
-
-* `ssh_skip_request_pty` (bool) - If true, a pty will not be requested as
-  part of the SSH connection. By default, this is "false", so a pty
-  _will_ be requested.
-
-* `ssh_wait_timeout` (string) - The duration to wait for SSH to become
-  available. By default this is "20m", or 20 minutes. Note that this should
-  be quite long since the timer begins as soon as the virtual machine is booted.
-
-* `tools_upload_flavor` (string) - The flavor of the VMware Tools ISO to
-  upload into the VM. Valid values are "darwin", "linux", and "windows".
-  By default, this is empty, which means VMware tools won't be uploaded.
-
-* `tools_upload_path` (string) - The path in the VM to upload the VMware
-  tools. This only takes effect if `tools_upload_flavor` is non-empty.
-  This is a [configuration template](/docs/templates/configuration-templates.html)
-  that has a single valid variable: `Flavor`, which will be the value of
-  `tools_upload_flavor`. By default the upload path is set to
-  `{{.Flavor}}.iso`.
-
-* `vm_name` (string) - This is the name of the VMX file for the new virtual
-  machine, without the file extension. By default this is "packer-BUILDNAME",
-  where "BUILDNAME" is the name of the build.
-
-* `vmdk_name` (string) - The filename of the virtual disk that'll be created,
-  without the extension. This defaults to "packer".
-
-* `vmx_data` (object, string keys and string values) - Arbitrary key/values
-  to enter into the virtual machine VMX file. This is for advanced users
-  who want to set properties such as memory, CPU, etc.
-
-* `vnc_port_min` and `vnc_port_max` (int) - The minimum and maximum port to
-  use for VNC access to the virtual machine. The builder uses VNC to type
-  the initial `boot_command`. Because Packer generally runs in parallel, Packer
-  uses a randomly chosen port in this range that appears available. By default
-  this is 5900 to 6000. The minimum and maximum ports are inclusive.
-
-* `vmx_template_path` (string) - Path to a
-  [configuration template](/docs/templates/configuration-templates.html) that
-  defines the contents of the virtual machine VMX file for VMware. This is
-  for **advanced users only** as this can render the virtual machine
-  non-functional. See below for more information. For basic VMX modifications,
-  try `vmx_data` first.
-
-## Boot Command
-
-The `boot_command` configuration is very important: it specifies the keys
-to type when the virtual machine is first booted in order to start the
-OS installer. This command is typed after `boot_wait`, which gives the
-virtual machine some time to actually load the ISO.
-
-As documented above, the `boot_command` is an array of strings. The
-strings are all typed in sequence. It is an array only to improve readability
-within the template.
-
-The boot command is "typed" character for character over a VNC connection
-to the machine, simulating a human actually typing the keyboard. There are
-a set of special keys available. If these are in your boot command, they
-will be replaced by the proper key:
-
-* `<enter>` and `<return>` - Simulates an actual "enter" or "return" keypress.
-
-* `<esc>` - Simulates pressing the escape key.
-
-* `<tab>` - Simulates pressing the tab key.
-
-* `<wait>` `<wait5>` `<wait10>` - Adds a 1, 5 or 10 second pause before sending any additional keys. This
-  is useful if you have to generally wait for the UI to update before typing more.
-
-In addition to the special keys, each command to type is treated as a
-[configuration template](/docs/templates/configuration-templates.html).
-The available variables are:
-
-* `HTTPIP` and `HTTPPort` - The IP and port, respectively of an HTTP server
-  that is started serving the directory specified by the `http_directory`
-  configuration parameter. If `http_directory` isn't specified, these will
-  be blank!
-
-Example boot command. This is actually a working boot command used to start
-an Ubuntu 12.04 installer:
-
-<pre class="prettyprint">
-[
-  "&lt;esc&gt;&lt;esc&gt;&lt;enter&gt;&lt;wait&gt;",
-  "/install/vmlinuz noapic ",
-  "preseed/url=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/preseed.cfg ",
-  "debian-installer=en_US auto locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us ",
-  "hostname={{ .Name }} ",
-  "fb=false debconf/frontend=noninteractive ",
-  "keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP keyboard-configuration/layout=USA ",
-  "keyboard-configuration/variant=USA console-setup/ask_detect=false ",
-  "initrd=/install/initrd.gz -- &lt;enter&gt;"
-]
-</pre>
-
-## VMX Template
-
-The heart of a VMware machine is the "vmx" file. This contains all the
-virtual hardware metadata necessary for the VM to function. Packer by default
-uses a [safe, flexible VMX file](https://github.com/mitchellh/packer/blob/20541a7eda085aa5cf35bfed5069592ca49d106e/builder/vmware/step_create_vmx.go#L84).
-But for advanced users, this template can be customized. This allows
-Packer to build virtual machines of effectively any guest operating system
-type.
-
-<div class="alert alert-block alert-warn">
-<p>
-<strong>This is an advanced feature.</strong> Modifying the VMX template
-can easily cause your virtual machine to not boot properly. Please only
-modify the template if you know what you're doing.
-</p>
-</div>
-
-Within the template, a handful of variables are available so that your
-template can continue working with the rest of the Packer machinery. Using
-these variables isn't required, however.
-
-* `Name` - The name of the virtual machine.
-* `GuestOS` - The VMware-valid guest OS type.
-* `DiskName` - The filename (without the suffix) of the main virtual disk.
-* `ISOPath` - The path to the ISO to use for the OS installation.
-
-## Building on a Remote vSphere Hypervisor
-
-In addition to using the desktop products of VMware locally to build
-virtual machines, Packer can use a remote VMware Hypervisor to build
-the virtual machine.
-
-When using a remote VMware Hypervisor, the builder still downloads the
-ISO and various files locally, and uploads these to the remote machine.
-Packer currently uses SSH to communicate to the ESXi machine rather than
-the vSphere API. At some point, the vSphere API may be used.
-
-To use a remote VMware vSphere Hypervisor to build your virtual machine,
-fill in the required `remote_*` configurations:
-
-* `remote_type` - This must be set to "esx5".
-
-* `remote_host` - The host of the remote machine.
-
-Additionally, there are some optional configurations that you'll likely
-have to modify as well:
-
-* `remote_datastore` - The path to the datastore where the VM will be
-  stored on the ESXi machine.
-
-* `remote_username` - The SSH username used to access the remote machine.
-
-* `remote_password` - The SSH password for access to the remote machine.
+The VMware builder is able to create VMware virtual machines for use
+with any VMware product.
+
+Packer actually comes with multiple builders able to create VMware
+machines, depending on the strategy you want to use to build the image.
+Packer supports the following VMware builders:
+
+* [vmware-iso](/docs/builders/vmware-iso.html) - Starts from
+  an ISO file, creates a brand new VMware VM, installs an OS,
+  provisions software within the OS, then exports that machine to create
+  an image. This is best for people who want to start from scratch.
+
+* [vmware-vmx](/docs/builders/vmware-vmx.html) - This builder
+  imports an existing VMware machine (from a VMX file), runs provisioners
+  on top of that VM, and exports that machine to create an image.
+  This is best if you have an existing VMware VM you want to use as the
+  source. As an additional benefit, you can feed the artifact of this
+  builder back into Packer to iterate on a machine.
