New users take the examples as starting point for their software. So whatever we put in there will be what users keep using for a long time. That is why I think we need to have consistent and opinionated examples to provide real best practices to avoid leading users on a way that turns out to be a dead end. Typically users will either choose blueprint or DS and will not want to mix both. My opionion is to simply not have blueprint examples but I am totally fine if we have them.. but they should be separate from the DS ones. So I propose the directories below examples are ds and blueprint. That should prevent quite a bit of confusion. I see one other problem with the parent. The examples use the karaf parent. I think this is not good as users will want to copy the examples but they will not want to keep the karaf parent. Actually I am not sure if the examples must live in the karaf repo at all. They are not strictly tied to the karaf release and often have a different lifecycle. Maybe there could be a repo karaf-examples or karaf-tutorials. Christian
