---------------------------------------

If you want to create only switchyard quickstarts within the bpel-service directory, you can use the following declaration:

<project>
  <category>SwitchYard</category>
  <name>switchyard-quickstart-bpel-service</name>
  <included-projects>switchyard-quickstart-bpel-service,
		  switchyard-quickstart-bpel-service-loan-approval,
		  switchyard-quickstart-bpel-service-say-hello</included-projects>
  <shortDescription>Switchyard BPEL service</shortDescription>
  <description>...</description>
  <size>...</size>
  <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/org/switchyard/quickstarts/switchyard-quickstarts-distro/0.3.0.Final/switchyard-quickstarts-distro-0.3.0.Final.zip</url>
  <fixes>
     ...
  </fixes>
  <importType>maven</importType>
  <importTypeDescription>The project example requires the m2eclipse-core, m2eclipse-wtp and JBoss Maven Project Examples feature.</importTypeDescription> 
</project>

M2e names a project using artifactId. The names(artifactIds) of the projects within the bpel-service directory are listed in the included-projects element (switchyard-quickstart-bpel-service, switchyard-quickstart-bpel-service-loan-approval and switchyard-quickstart-bpel-service-say-hello are artifactIds of the projects within the bpel-service directory).
The Project Examples wizard will download a zip from the maven repository (https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/org/switchyard/quickstarts/switchyard-quickstarts-distro/0.3.0.Final/switchyard-quickstarts-distro-0.3.0.Final.zip) and import only those projects that are listed in the included-projects element. I don't think we need to introduce a new type for such project examples. We only need to choose what projects will be imported.
If you still want to introduce a new type, you could create a separate ext. point within some of the switchyard or maven plugins.

> 1. Examples file download - use Maven to resolve the artifact and locate the file for the resolved artifact.
> 2. Zip extraction - only extract files under a specific directory within the archive.

These actions can be done within the importProjectExamples extension point without changing the project examples plugin. Your patch also includes some changes that aren't related to this issue (the changes related to the caching project examples xml files, for instance).

> Many server projects bundle quickstarts and demos with their projects.  Many times, these are generated into a single zip installed in a Maven repository.  It would be beneficial if the project examples infrastructure supported installing examples stored within a Maven artifact, that would be very beneficial for these types of projects.
