[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-19248) Import examples from git repo

Import examples from git repo ----------------------------- Key: JBIDE-19248 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19248 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: project-examples Affects Versions: 4.2.2.Final Reporter: Fred Bricon Assignee: Fred Bricon Fix For: LATER Currently, project examples for wfk and eap needs to be assembled individually into zip files and downloaded separately. It'd be easier, from a "go offline" scenario and also in general maintenance context, to be able to import the examples from git Project examples descriptor (or another mechanism) could define : - git repo url - sha1/tag - example folder The import process would then : - clone the repo to a user defined location (~/.jbosstools/offline) by default if it doesn't exist, or update the repo if it exists - traverse the sha1/tag tree to extract the chosen examples and copy them to another user defined location. Once the repo has been cloned, every project creation would likely be very, very fast
