Something like the following:

We could also add the priority tag to the category.xml (JBIDE-10658) and project examples xml file. Poject examples would be sorted by category priority and by project example priority within a category. JBoss Central worked this way in JBT 3.3.0.M5/JBDS 5.0.0.M5, but was broken by fixing JBIDE-10641. I propose that we bring back the priority property to the categories and project examples.

In order to see other categories/project examples, the user would use the scrollbar.

We, somehow, have to specify where the quickstarts zip/directory/xml file is placed. Where will be 30 planned quickstarts placed? I suppose the Project Example engine would have to scan some directory/file within a JBoss AS server - $JBOSS_AS_HOME/quickstarts, for instance.

> There are many quickstarts (we got ~7 but there are 30 planned) - should find a way to make this scale in the ui.
>     Two options:
>         1) The full dynamic solution where the client iterates "top 15" 5 of the time.
>         2) The simple solution where we just update the server side content to "refresh" content.
>         
> #2 is adding a "jbosscentral_quickstart" tag which only will be applied to 7 or so at one time.
