Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-10218:
---------------------------------------

We could add the following features:

1) We could add the select-projects element to the project examples xml file. If a project example creator adds that element as follows:

<select-projects>${project[1]}, ${project[2]}</select-project>

the Project examples engine would check if the Package Explorer view (and, maybe, the Project Explorer view) is visible/open. If so, it would select the mentioned projects.
If the selectProjects element doesn't exist, the Project Examples engine would try to select project[0].

For those projects that have a runtime/server fix, it is also possible to check the "Always use this server when running this project" preference (https://issues.jboss.org/secure/attachment/12349250/Screen+Shot+2011-11-22+at+12.02.38+PM.png screenshot).

That would enable the user to start a project using the Run/Debug icon without showing the Run On server wizard.

2) As to the deploying a datasource, JBoss AS > 5.x/6.x recognizes a datasource added to the application.xml file. I think, this way I have created all the project examples targeted to JBoss AS 5.x/JBoss AS 6.x (EAP 5.x), but it isn't possible to do that for the project examples targeted to the JBoss AS 4. 
It is, however, possible to add the make-deployables element to the project examples xml file. This property would contain resources as, for instance, the following one:

<make-deployables >${project[0]}-ear/resources/photolbum-ds.xml</make-deployables >

The Project Examples would deploy this resource to the server after successful importing a project example and assigning server/runtime to the project example.

3) We could also suppress starting a project example if all requirements are not satisfied. Users would be able to change this behavior using the Project Examples preference

> The Run icon in the Eclipse toolbar is where a new developer (new to JBoss Tools) expects to go directly after he has generated a new project from either File-New or JBoss Central by using one of the archetypes or project examples/quickstarts.
> This means the generated project needs to be highlighted in the Project Explorer and the Run button should "just work".  
> There is also an issue with Run vs Debug - if the server is in "debug mode" then Run should just assume that is OK and not prompt the user. 
> Run on Server should be the default so the user can use a single click on OK
