Wizard-ify the project examples
-------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-10264
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10264
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: project-examples
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M4
            Reporter: Fred Bricon
            Assignee: Snjezana Peco
             Fix For: 3.3.0.Beta1


In the wake of JBIDE-9776 and JBIDE-10140, it turns out that, in order for us to contribute 5 new wizards to the "New " menu under the Jboss perspective and in the "New project" section of JBoss central, "project examples" based projects should be created via a Wizard implementation from the get go. 

Current project examples workflow involves :
- displaying a form dialog : to display missing runtimes and let the user install/download the required runtimes
- launching a workspace job, which in turn : 
  * downloads the example
  * does the actual project import (launches a wizard for maven archetypes)
  * resolve quickfixes

Ideally, all these steps would be part of a single wizard, spanning one to 3 pages (depending on the complexity/requirements of the examples). Everything contributed by the form dialog would be replaced by a wizard page, which would bring consistency to the UI.

I'm aware this is not a simple task to refactor the existing workflow to such an infrastructure but ultimately, that would allow us to easily contribute new project wizards to the IDE in a standard way.

Current target is 3.3.0.Beta1. Snjeza, WDYT?
