Snjezana Peco resolved JBIDE-11727.
-----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 3.3.x)
       Resolution: Done


I have added the following features:

1) The Project Examples can import maven projects placed in the file system. The projects don't have to be packed into a zip archive

2) The Project Example sites created within a JBoss server can be automatically imported.
They have to be defined in  <JBOSS_HOME>/<some_directory>/.project_example.xml
Importing server sites is defined with the "Show Server Sites" property located in Window>Preferences>JBoss Tools>Project Example

as well as on the first page of the Project Examples wizard.

If this property is checked, the server's project examples behave as other project examples. If you include the central tag, they will be shown in JBoss Central.
If the property is unchecked, the server's project examples are ignored.

3) all the project examples are defined at https://github.com/jbossas/quickstart. There are 49 project examples in the master branch. Pull request: https://github.com/jbossas/quickstart/pull/278.

These features can be tested as follows:

- download https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/workspace/snjeza/quickstarts/quickstart.zip
- unpack quickstart.zip into a JBoss AS Server so that .project_example.xml is in <JBOSS_HOME>/quickstart/.project_example.xml.
- start JBT and add the JBoss AS server that contains the mentioned quickstart directory
- select Window>Preferences>JBoss Tools>Project Example and check the "Show Server Sites" property
- call the Project Examples wizard

As a result, you will get 49 project examples within the JBoss AS 7.1.1 Quickstarts category (the <Runtime_name> Project Examples site).
The archive includes all the quickstarts from https://github.com/jbossas/quickstart, tag 7.1.1.CR2

> in JBIDE-10652 and other situations we have discussed being able to detect that an installation/directory has quickstarts present and have those detected and configured in JBoss Tools as possible examples to use.
> Need to see if project examples mechanism handle this (i.e. in a distribution the examples would be unzipped/exploded, but when hosted online it would be a zip...can we align this or would it be better with two descriptors?)
