Hi Florian

Thanks for kicking this off.

I think we need to decide what, for each type of sample, is our
default launch mechanism. There are numerous different mechanisms in
samples/running-tuscany but we need to pick something that will be
obvious and easy to use for the first time user.

There are different types of samples we have included

 jar/zip standalone contributions (in some cases more than one
contribution has to be run)
contributions that must be run and then accessed by an SCA or Tuscany client
contributions wrapped in a war
contribution bundles (that expect to be run in an OSGi environment)

There are probably some I've missed.

Typically we've provided maven and ant scripts in the past. However we
now have the new shell stuff and mvn plugins that can do some of the
work. I wouldn't advocate removing any of these options but, for each
type of sample, we should pick a simple default approach that we can
easily document.

IMHO, having tried it, documenting multiple approaches for each sample
is hard work and makes the sample doc look complicated.

I'll have  a play with the options we have now to see which one I like
in each situation. If others can do the same we can discuss.
