Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-19248:
-------------------------------------

POC using jgit at https://gist.github.com/fbricon/36e4f5325af569f01d4d

Still needs to integrate with workspace, progress monitor, import project api, guard against concurrent clone requests

> 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
