[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-10264) Wizard-ify the project examples

[Fred Bricon (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10264?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12669050#comment-12669050 ] 

Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-10264:
-------------------------------------

Setting field values (project name, package, selecting an EAP runtime) in the simple page of the Maven wizard was not propagated to the advanced page (artifact id, package and group id, enterprise parameter). I committed a fix.

The extra wizards have been added to fix JBIDE-10212 : we need available wizard ids to contribute new entries in the File > New menu.
If you have a better solution, we can fix that for CR1.

> In the wake of JBIDE-9776 and JBIDE-10140, it turns out that, in order for us to contribute 5 new wizards to the "New " menu under the Jboss perspective and in the "New project" section of JBoss central, "project examples" based projects should be created via a Wizard implementation from the get go. 
> Current project examples workflow involves :
> - displaying a form dialog : to display missing runtimes and let the user install/download the required runtimes
> - launching a workspace job, which in turn : 
>   * downloads the example
>   * does the actual project import (launches a wizard for maven archetypes)
>   * resolve quickfixes
> Ideally, all these steps would be part of a single wizard, spanning one to N pages (depending on the complexity/requirements of the examples). Everything contributed by the form dialog would be replaced by a wizard page, which would bring consistency to the UI.
> In other words, that means the project example dialog needs to be refactored into a Wizard, providing an API so that client plugins can contribute wizard pages. 
> I'm aware this is not a simple task to refactor the existing workflow to such an infrastructure but ultimately, that would allow us to easily contribute new project wizards to the IDE in a standard way.
> Current target is 3.3.0.Beta1. Snjeza, WDYT?
