[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-6214) Support project example with no Eclipse metadata, only pom.xml, in zip

[Snjezana Peco (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6214?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12562324#action_12562324 ] 

Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-6214:
--------------------------------------

The project example ext. point serves to define a project example. The implementation of the ext.point (downloading projects, importing project, building projects, quick fixes, fixing requirements) has been done within the plugin and has to include necessary dependencies.
 
Importing a Maven project would also have to be implemented within the plugin. What is possible to do is the following:

- creating an ext. point/service (org.jboss.tools.project.examples.importMavenProject, for instance), in a separate plugin (org.jboss.tools.project.examples.maven, for instance). The implementation of the ext. point (importing an existing Maven project) has to depend on m2eclipse.
- in a project example xml file, a developer would define a pure Maven project by adding the "type" element with the "maven" value to the "project" element. If the org.jboss.tools.project.examples.importMavenProject ext. point doesn't exist, such projects would be ignored. If exists, the project would be created using the m2eclipse API.

WDYT ?

> If projects want to incorporate producing project examples into their release process, they are likely not to have any valid eclipse metadata available for the example when using Maven.
