I have gone through Apache-camel, Apache-cxf , axis2 projects to identify a
common structure. In camel projects there were many samples and each one is
structured using a more common pattern. eg: if you dig into the contents in
each sample directory it consists of a src directory, pom.xml & a
README.txt file at the root level. Inside the src directory there are main
and test directories. resources are located in each of these directories.
(refer the tree figure below - for main directory) .Directory structure in
cxf projects are also the same. (there may be slight changes like setting
common set of samples into a one directory etc.). Axis2 on the other hand
reflects the same structure except for resources which are included at the
same level were src directory is located with.

├── camel-example-tracer
│   ├── pom.xml
│   ├── README.txt
│   └── src
│       └── main

│           │                       ├── Main.java

I have discussed the issue of DSS samples with Chanika and the possibility
of organizing DSS samples in-accordance with a common standard will most
probably be successful. However, we may not worry about mashup samples as
they will be discontinued in the future releases as confirmed by NuwanB.
But for samples like Jaggery we might need to develop a new strategy unless
we put those to a directory and call it src / resources . My suggestion in
this regard is that we better adhere into samples directory structure shown
in Apache camel/ cxf projects which seems to be quite a good reasonable
one. (we may need to consider the opportunity cost of this) . If not we
need to propose another generic standard for implementing sample
directories structure to our products.

Regards
