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

             Summary: Import examples from git repo
                 Key: JBIDE-19248
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19248
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: project-examples
    Affects Versions: 4.2.2.Final
            Reporter: Fred Bricon


Currently, project examples for wfk and eap needs to be assembled individually into zip files and downloaded separately.

It'd be easier, from a "go offline" scenario and also in general maintenance context, to be able to import the examples from git

Project examples descriptor (or another mechanism) could define :
- git repo url
- sha1/tag 
- example folder

The import process would then :
- clone the repo to a user defined location (~/.jbosstools/offline) by default if it doesn't exist, or update the repo if it exists
- traverse the sha1/tag tree to extract the chosen examples and copy them to another user defined location.

Once the repo has been cloned, every project creation would likely be very, very fast
