I would vote for 3. My reasoning is that Java has a good mechanism to get a starter/example project going by using the the maven archetypes already. Our quickstart guide for Apache Beam for the Java SDK already covers generating the examples archetype. We could point users to the starter project at the end of the java quickstart.
If python/go have a similar mechanism that is commonly used, I would go with those over creating a separate repo for examples and adding the maintenance burden involved.
