I agree with Andy. An integration test framework ro build and
run the samples is the right long term solution, but until we have
that framework, we should not remove building the samples from
the regular build.

IMO we need integration tests that pass. That would include testing the
samples. Given the resources required to run real integration tests it
is impractical to run them as part of a developer build. They should
run on a ongoing basis, perhaps using a framework like Continuum.
A plea to everyone - let's not rehash this all over again unless
something has changed to make it a productive discussion.

In many cases building the sample does not actually prove anything as
they are not executed. This applies, for example, to the webapp-based
samples we have. When they are executed, we still don't know that
they run in the end-user environment - e.g. the standalone samples
that run from SCATestCase but which fail to run from the launcher.
Where they should be built/run is as part of an integration test
suite. We don't have that ATM.
Better samples that build and don't run than samples that don't build
at all IMO.
