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

Wizard-ify the project examples ------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-10264 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10264 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: project-examples Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M4 Reporter: Fred Bricon Assignee: Snjezana Peco Fix For: 3.3.0.Beta1 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?
