Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-10053:
---------------------------------------

> Snejzana - that the archetypes are handled by project examples shouldn't dictate how we layout jboss central.

Project examples can be declaratively added to the Project Examples section, but actions (wizards) to the Create Projects section are being programatically added .

> We got requirements early on that the main "create project" items should be front and center and optimally also available via File > New > *
> This is part of that.
> The question is if this is impossible to do in the time for B1 where we also need to have the software/update page in place.

If some project examples (archetypes) have to be added via File>New, we would have to create separate Eclipse wizards for every such a project example.
Then they could be easily added to the Create Projects section (by adding just the wizard's id).
Another way would be to add actions to the Create Projects section that would call a certain project example. Those actions wouldn't be in File>New
This can be done for B1 if we need to add only existing archetypes. 
If it is necessary to add a possibility of adding wizards and project examples declaratively to the Create Projects section, that would take me a bit more time, but probably can be done for Beta1.

> About quickstarts then the ones we got now are only targeting community dependencies, there will be new ones for EAP and possible more for other platforms thus we need to find a way to handle the "duplication" - that specific issue is covered over at https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10120

We could change the tutorials extension point and add the visible tag. If the tag exists, a project example will be visible only if there is some runtime listed in visible.
For example:

<tutorial
            id="org.jboss.tools.central.jbossas.quickstart.kitchensink"
            categoryId="org.jboss.tools.central.jbossas.quickstart"
            name="Kitchensink quickstart"
            type="projectExample"
            priority="4"
            icon="icons/jbossas7.png"
            reference="JBoss AS 7 Quickstarts::kitchensink"/
	    visible="org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.runtime.70">
			
This project example would be visible only if there is JBoss AS 7.0.x.
If this has to be implemented in the Project Examples wizard (Help>Project Examples), a similar tag would have to be added to the project example xml file. The org.jboss.tools.central.tutorials ext. point shouldn't be changed in this case.
The consequence would be that the user wouldn't be able to see some project examples until he installs the appropriate runtime.
