[Snjezana Peco (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4292?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12467086#action_12467086 ] 

Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-4292:
--------------------------------------

Project Example site can be defined as follows:

1) using an ext. point in the plugin:

<extension
        point="org.jboss.tools.project.examples.projectExamplesXml"
        name="%JBoss_Developer_Studio_Examples">
        <url>http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/examples/project-examples-3.0.xml</url>
        <experimental>false</experimental>
</extension>

Experimental sites ("experimental=true") won't be shown by default. This can be changed using Window>Preferences>JBoss Tools>Project Examples>Show experimental sites preference

2) using the following JVM option:
-Dorg.jboss.tools.project.examples.xml=<URL>

3) using Window>Preferences>JBoss Tools>Project Examples Preference Page. Attached is a screenshot

The sites added using 2) and 3) options are always experimental.

> Project examples should be possible to be provided by anyone so they can offer it others and it should be easy to test.
> Currently that requires writing and bundling a plugin (which is *great*), but I think it should also be possible for users to add their own local .xml files to
> allow testing and trying out examples that might not be ready for primetime yet.
> See attachement for suggested preference layout.
> The tree might possible have a checkmark to allow enabling/disabling specific sites ?
