Maybe I am a bit dense, but I don't understand what you want :)

What is "target IDE"? Do you mean the IDE itself, the target platform
used by the IDE to build against, or a self hosted IDE being executed by
the IDE, or one of those in yet another configuration?

What is "installed workspace"? - one IDE instance uses one workspace (at
a time), nothing is ever "installed" into the workspace - do you mean
having binaries in the workspace?

Not sure I understand - do you mean that the user does not see the
feature as source available in the workspace built by the IDE, and
instead see it in some other shape?

Which IDE directory is that? Workspace? The location where things that
are installed into the IDE reside?
I think it could be helpful if you described your usecase a bit more...
Sorry for not being of more help.

Sorry, for "(both built from projects referred to in myapp.examples-feature)" I mean not "built", but simply the **actual contents** (i.e. pulled directly from SVN) of those projects.
Again, I could do this with ant, but I would like to be able to retrieve and maintain the example features just as with other buckminster artifacts, but I here I want not the built artifacts but the projects themselves, just as if I had materialized them into my workspace.
Another way to look at it is as if I materialized the example features into my target workspace, but here I want to materialize them to some place where I can then include them with my distribution.
The motivating goal here is to make it as simple as possible for users to get up and running with example projects. Ideally, I'd like to actually have the projects automatically loaded (or pre-loaded) in the users workspace automatically, but that doesn't seem very easily doable.

Since Buckminster can create source bundles when creating a p2
repository it could be possible to just import those, or write some "new
wizard" that makes the choices explicit to the user.
