We always had the examples on Artemis playing a double thingy... being both an educational and documentational resource, and that has also saved us a few times from making changes that would invalidate configurations and the manual.
However, to replicate ARTEMIS-1089 now, I couldn't easily produce a testcase for it.. Instead I wrote an example like code (using the same maven framework, and everything else).. but this time it doesn't have the purpose of documentation. for that reason I am creating a new folder ./smoke under examples, and I'm adding a readme.md as part of it. I'm mainly adding this discuss thread to suggest other people to do the same in certain cases where a testcase is hard to reproduce a production life scenario. Testcases are still the preferable way to replicate bugs.. but in certain cases this will help us eat our own dog food. (it certainly helped me). -- Clebert Suconic
