Have you thought about modifying the project-examples functionality to work directly with the quickstarts zips in Maven? I was looking at something like this a while back, as SwitchYard bundles all their quickstarts in a zip for packaging with the runtime. If you could simply download the projects from Maven, I think that would greatly simplify things.

That said, I never got a chance to finish this work for SwitchYard (other priorities). Here is some history: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10616

Best, Rob Hi, we need to clean up the project examples in JBoss Tools 4.0/JBDS 6.0 (as part of https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12554). So, my idea was to replace all the old examples with the quickstarts from https://github.com/jboss-jdf/jboss-as-quickstart Since the quickstarts are not available as standalone zips, for consumption in JBT/JBDS, I created a script (https://github.com/fbricon/jboss-as-quickstart/commit/cb1a0638b352434c48c...) that does that, and it also generates a project example stub we can use almost directly in JBT.

However our own JBoss AS server adapter ignores the WTP project context root and bases its deployment on the project name, leading to 404s as seen in the video below.

Now. * are you guys ok to actually remove and replace the old examples with the JDF quickstarts * if you're ok, I'll setup a CI job to deploy the quickstarts to download.jboss.org * who's willing to give me a hand in validating the quickstarts properly work in JBT/JBDS. That includes : - checking the project belongs (or not) to JBT/JBDS - checking there's a proper project description - checking the projects are properly configured (I noticed some EARs are seen as 1.3 instead of 6.0) and compile without errors - checking the projects deploy OOTB on AS7/EAP6 Regards, Fred Bricon _______________________________________________ jbosstools-dev mailing list jbosstools-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jbosstools-dev _______________________________________________ jbosstools-dev mailing list jbosstools-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jbosstools-dev
