Aaron Pestel commented on JBIDE-4191:
-------------------------------------

I can see value in that.  Customers have asked for it (pull quickstarts into JBDS) and someone has added some of them via "File | New | Other... | JBoss Tools | Project Examples | ESB".  However, it's only a subset of the quickstarts, customers have to be on the internet, and the clients don't always seem to work.

In general though, I think a more general approach is preferred at least initially.  If I can just right-click and choose "New ESB Service" and the wizard walks me through selecting a gateway (or creating if necessary) and actions (where all possibly gateways and actions are shown in a list - possibly categorized if too many actions), I think that would be more intuitive than starting from a template.  It also helps them understand the components of an ESB service that they may miss if everything was just created for them.  Also, just pulling in the templates still doesn't show all the options on each of the actions.  There are a host of options that need to be set in a case like WS-proxy, especially if customer is doing HTTPS, Basic Auth, or something like that.  Those are not covered in a single quickstart, so we'd risk the novice customer potentially creating a "ws proxy" and then concluding that it must not support ssl, basic auth, etc. since it's not in the "new WS proxy" action.

In general though, I think it would be a good feature.  Would just prefer that it come after we have a nice simple wizard driven way of creating services and actions in general.
