I agree that we need to push more examples away from the lw-container approach, I have been thinking that we could do this by continuing to extend the archetypes.

I would recommend more worked examples in the documentation and strictly, the worked examples should be used as QA tests for snapshots so that the examples are provably in sync with the releases. If you look at the forum, nobody could build consistently until a web page was put up documenting the sequence of build steps to apply. The same thing is required for the main common issues like JBoss integration, manual deployment of dependent classes for lw-container apps, real-world HTTP endpoint configuration etc. The examples are useful, but too simple and too focused upon lw-container approaches so you can't actually get a broad understanding of the JBI model from looking at the examples and the docs presuppose a strong background in Web Service concepts and jargon which is not always the case for Java-centric developers moving into integration. I am finding that the best way to illustrate some of these subjects to my developers is to build animated PowerPoint presentations that show how events move about within the environment. If we can find a web-centric way of doing animation easily, I'm happy to contribute similar docs for the site? Terry
