Daniel Kulp commented on CXF-3841:
----------------------------------
I'm -1 on this. We've used samples for over 5 years and there is no
compelling reason to change. What other projects do should not matter for
what we do so that whole argument is pointless. I also don't get the whole
collected/created thing.
In anycase, I really don't see the point at all and the main thing it will
cause is a lot of busy work updating wiki pages and documentation and stuff for
no real value.
> 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", for the same alignment purposes.
