Sooo … what’s the current state?
Do we need a vote on this to document the desire to create a new repo?

Hi all,
well there are several reasons, why I think separating the samples from the
framework is a good idea.
1) It makes the repo a lot bigger and as you said overwhelming
2) Usually people want to use Edgent and only a certain percentage also
want to contribute, build-time, complexity-to-setup, complexity-to-understand
etc. could scare people
3) Usually Samples are a sort of playground … one that has to be
maintained. Would be unfortunate to have to wait to clean up sample code and
keep us from releasing.
4) To be on the safe side, we should have to do the same duplication to
build the samples with java7 or java8 … usually a user just wants to build it
for one.
Right now, the way the samples are included, when doing a full build, the
samples would always be built for java7 as this is the last profile defined.
But that’s just my opinion.

Let’s see what Chris’ thoughts are.
Another aspect of the separation is that importing the full Edgent
sources into an IDE workspace, just to get the samples, can be a bit
overwhelming (with regards to the number of projects present). We could tell
users to deselect all but the samples tree in say the Eclipse import wizard.
Just seems cleaner / easier for a user if we can avoid that detail.
