Hi,
Is it possible to have third party board example showing in the Arduino IDE examples menu?
I've created a Examples folder in my third party core with Arduino "sketches" that I would like the user to access via the example menu of the IDE.
By the way, libraries that are specific to the board reside in the core in a Libraries folder. If example are provided, their not available via the example menu....
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks 
Did you include the examples in the libs folder itself then install the libs ?
Or place them all in a folder and then copy that folder to C:\program Files (x86}\Arduino\Examples
That works just as well and places them near the top of the list.
I just tried it with 1.6.12 and called my folder "0-9" and it shows at the top of Arduinos own examples.

This is commonly done via a dummy library. You will need a .h file in the library in order for it to be recognized but it can be a blank file(I usually add a comment in the file to explain its purpose). For an example see:
I seem to remember a core examples feature being added to the IDE recently but I can't find it now or get it working(maybe I'm imagining that) and this would not be backwards compatible with IDEs previous to that change anyway. I see [Boards Manager] Include core examples to Examples menu · Issue #3297 · arduino/Arduino · GitHub is still open so that makes me think I did imagine it.

The core bundled libraries examples are only shown in the File > Examples library when you have one of the boards for that core selected. Are you experiencing something different? If so, I'd need a better description of how I can reproduce the issue to look into it(link to core, IDE version you're using, installation method, etc.).
