import all sounds like a horrible thing to me as a user. But better
than nothing I guess.
Yeah. That's why I want to make the changes (which I've already done). I'll
create a JIRA and submit my patch.
if you already have a zip file at a stable URL then you can already
use project examples infrastructure for this today I would say
(assuming the projects are eclipse projects)
If maven projects then it is more tricky and I would say you should
split out these examples into smaller ones or even better adapt them
to archetypes so they work easily via JBoss Central ?

The quickstarts and demos exist already, the Maven archetype only supports simple project
creation (i.e. there's no archetype that creates a project, a service and configures
the service to be exposed over JMS). FYI, these are packaged with the runtime already and
it seems a waste to have to create individual archives and store them up when they are
already stored in a Maven repo. Regardless, the work is done and seems to work well
enough.
Best,
