Change "samples" folder to "examples"
-------------------------------------
Key: CXF-3841
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3841
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.4.2
Reporter: Robert Liguori
Priority: Trivial
CXF Projects: Samples vs Examples vs Demos
Case Study:
Apache ServiceMix and Apache Camel place their example projects under an
"examples" folder. Apache ActiveMQ uses an "example" folder (without the s).
Recommendation:
Rename CXF's "samples" folder to "examples". Specifically, change
"\apache-cxf-2.4.2\samples" to "\apache-cxf-2.4.2\examples".
Justification:
The terms "Samples" and "Examples" are pretty much interchangeable, with the
difference of "samples" being generally thought of as something collected, and
"examples" being generally thought of as something created. I believe that CXF
example projects fall into the latter sub-classification.
* Also, since CXF is in the same family as the other SOA-related tools that use
"examples", this is another reason to align directory names.
Thanks for the consideration.
Some other use cases: Eclipse, XMLSpy and Tcl/TK use 'examples'. However,
NetBeans and XMLBeans do use 'samples'.
*** I also recommend that Apache ActiveMQ changes their folder from "example"
to "examples".
