• samplesinfo - root element for contributing samples. Each element of this type will appear as a top-level node in the Samples view with the attribute 'name' as the label
• directory - directory containing the actual samples. Each directory directly under this attribute will be treated a sample node in the Samples view.
• iconFile - icon to display in the Samples View
• infoFile - Optional help file that will load in the internal Aptana browser
• name - label that will appear as a top-level element in the Samples view
• projectHandler - Class that must implement com.aptana.ide.samples.handlers.IProjectCreationHandler and must have a public default constructor. An instance of this class will be called each time a project is creating around one of the samples for this entry.
• previewHandler - Class that must implement com.aptana.ide.samples.handlers.IPreviewHandler and must have a default public constructor. An instance of this class will be called each time a preview is requested for one of the samples in this entry.
• nature - one or more nature ids that will be set on the project created in this samples entry.

Important notes

• Both the project creation handler and the preview handler should catch errors internally and present any error information to the user.
