Hi Max
Thanks for the pointers, but I'm not sure how relevant some of your
points are.
Perhaps I didn't make the situation sufficiently clear. I'm not setting
out to write a new quickstart for AS. I already have a demo app. It
already has version control, in the JBossTS repository. It already has
documentation, in the JBossTS manuals. It already has a build script.
What I'm interested in is how to inject these pre-existing assets into
the AS build and hence release bundle, with the minimum of upstream
changes. If the only way to do that is to fork them into the AS codebase
then it just isn't going to happen.
The tooling integration I consider largely orthogonal to that and I'm
happy to try to accomodate the needs of JBoss Tools if you can describe
them more fully. 'importable and deployable' is a bit vague for me. I
don't use JBoss Tools and have no clue what that requirement entails.
Are there some guidelines on what to do (or not do) and how to test it
in an automated fashion?
Thanks
Jonathan.

Look at https://github.com/jbossas/quickstart
Has a read me with "rules"
notice please the:
"The quickstart should be importable into JBoss Tools and deployable there" :)
And if that part does not work - ping me or on jboss tools forum and we'll help
explain
or see if we can make it work if some tooling limitation.
That rule is what makes all the quick starts (except currently osgi) directly importable
into
JBoss tools and is what we will start relying on even more for next revision of JBoss
Tools/JBDS
which will provide a selected set of the quick starts as "project example"/New
Project wizard
to let users get started quickly.
