Q) framework/example and framework/exampleext: move to specialpurpose

Adrian would like to keep Example in the framework but slim it down a lot to the essential (no form 
widgets examples, no Ajax examples, no content examples etc...). Adrian would you please confirm if 
in your vision the "example" application should document the layout of a typical OFBiz 
component only? If yes, we could use the output of the "ant create-component" task to 
document the best practice layout.
Jacques, Olivier would like to keep also the examples for the various higher 
level features available to OFBiz applications.

I think that from the discussion it could emerge the following solution to 
please everyone:

* keep the "example" component in the framework but slim it down to the bare 
essential
* move the "exampleext" component to specialpurpose and migrate to it all the 
extra features: this could also be used as a best practice guide on how to extend a 
component from hot-deploy/specialpurpose

I still think that it would be nicer to not bundle the "example" component ootb 
to keep the framework cleaner: the example should be downloaded separately (when we will 
have clear separation between framework and the rest); this approach is similar to tomcat 
and its example applications. But I don't have a strong opinion on this.

create 2 components, one basic with simple CRUD and no ajax or whatever, and another one with more eye candy stuff (ajax, modal forms, etc...). Both components should be in specialpurpose/ I'm not in favor of moving them to extras, as when delivering an official release there should be a showcase included. And as Adrian said, when teaching people how to create apps with OFBiz, this could be really useful. And with JSR-223, there's a lot to add !
