Description

When I download a sample project from the internet using Studio menu:
  File > Import Samples and Community Content...
and use the Quick Fix to change the project version errors still appear. I attempt to correct remaining Typecheck errors by right-clicking on the project in the Project Explorer and choosing Maven > Update Project..., but errors are not resolved.

Attempting to import using the " Select Versions" option in the Import dialog does not allow me to see or select a version of the sample matching my Studio version.

Looking at the GitHub site for the samples I see that a compatible version of the sample is available, but I cannot select it within Studio for import.

Issue/Introduction

Manual steps to download and import GitHub samples

Resolution

The selectable versions of a sample in Studio's sample importer may not match your current Studio version. This can be caused by an incomplete download of the remote repositories, possibly due to a network error when downloading previously.

To refresh your copy of the samples using Studio:

1. Open the " Import Samples" dialog from menu:
  File > Import Samples and Community Content...

2. Click the " Pull from remote repositories now" link.

3. Check the " Select Versions >" page to make sure a version matching your Studio version appears.

4. Complete the import using " Import Now".


To manually obtain the version matching your Studio version:

1. Open your web browser to the "tibco-streaming-samples" webpage:
  https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/tibco-streaming-samples/tree/master

2. Change the branch selection from " master" to your preferred version.

3. Click on the green " Code v" button and select " Download ZIP" and save to your computer.
