hmm, i dont had "snippets" in my mind (it's a good idea too) rather
somethink just
like eclipse's templates when you start the "New Plug-in Project Wizard"
the abillity to choose generators/transformes templates for your new project
so the generated project has allready sitemap with entries (pipelines, match
patterns)
able to drive selected samples.
Optional you can select if the wizard will generate demo data files (xml),
resource files (images, mp3 etc) or/and xlt.
