Description

There are problems using Eclipse with the samples in the Tuscany SCA binary distribution.

1. The README file in the samples directory has some information about using an IDE such as Eclipse, but the instructions only apply to the source distribution and don't work with the binary distribution.

2. The samples directory in the binary distribution doesn't contain a pom.xml file, so anyone wanting to generate Eclipse project files would need to run mvn eclipse:eclipse separately in each of 57 individual sample directories.

3. It isn't possible to copy the samples pom.xml file from the source distribution to the binary distribution (as a workaround for problem 2) because the binary distribution omits 10 samples that are in the source distribution build. (I'll create another JIRA to track the issue of the binary and source distributions not matching each other.)
