[aerogear-dev] Aerogear Forge Plugin

[Richard Kennard]

Seb,

This looks very cool. I see you have used parts of Metawidget for some of the implementation? I'd love to hear your thoughts on how it went and/or any 
changes you'd like me to make to Metawidget. For example:

1. You have some code in Html5Scaffold that processes the inspection result returned by CompositeInspector. It does things like 'Canonicalize all numerical 
types in Java to "number" for HTML5 form input type support' and 'Extract simple type name of the relationship types'. Was there a reason you didn't factor 
this into a Metawidget InspectionResultProcessor (http://metawidget.org/doc/reference/en/html/ch02s03.html)? Specifically BaseInspectionResultProcessor has 
some methods to help?

2. You appear to be using FreeMarker templates rather than Metawidget's WidgetBuilders, WidgetProcessors and Layouts (see the existing Forge JSF scaffold, 
Forge GWT scaffold, and Forge Spring scaffold). Could I ask what the reasons were behind this?

3. I have recently implemented a pure client-side, pure run-time, AngularJS version of Metawidget. If you were interested in a non-static version of your 
scaffold, perhaps you could give it a try? http://blog.kennardconsulting.com/2013/01/metawidget-meets-jquery-ui-and-angularjs.html

Regards,

Richard.
