[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBIDE-8828) Remove .project files and .settings folders from mavenized examples

[Snjezana Peco (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8828?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Snjezana Peco resolved JBIDE-8828.
----------------------------------

    Release Notes Text: 
> Now, when I download booking-mavenized which is listed in example site, the zip contains .project and .settings files. 

Now there are several types of project examples. They are the following:

1.  zipped Eclipse projects
They are old project examples that have to contain Eclipse artifacts (.project, .classpath, .settings ...). They are imported using the Eclipse import operation.
The booking-mavenized project example is such a project.

2. pure maven project examples
They are archived Maven projects that don't have to contain Eclipse artifacts and are imported using the m2eclipse import operation (see JBIDE-6214).

3. project examples based on a maven archetype
These project examples don't require any archive, but just a declaration in the project examples xml file. A project is created based on a maven archetype. See JBIDE-7890.

4. project examples based on a git/svn repository

This feature hasn't been implemented yet. See JBIDE-8452.

It would be possible to convert  the booking-mavenized project example from the type #1 to #2, but we wouldn't get any new functionality. Type #2 is useful only for creating pure maven projects.examples.
            Resolution: Rejected
