Hi Bilu,
if I understand you correctly, you want to make sure that your sample
template is always adapted to the newest version of some features. In this
case, consider using the following API feature: @TemplateRegistration can
be placed on a static method to register an InstantiatingIterator for a
custom template. It did that a couple of years ago and it works fine. So it
is well possible to register a project that must be created or adapted
dynamically.
Hope it helps
Boris
