[jira] [Closed] (CXF-3841) Change "samples" folder to "examples"
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3841?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Robert Liguori closed CXF-3841.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Closing as undesired... I did notice the following though as another instance of the use of "examples"...
talend-sf-2.4.2.0/examples

> 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.
