[jira] [Updated] (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 updated CXF-3841:
--------------------------------
Description:
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".
