[forge-dev] Packaging and installing plugins from Maven

[Keith Babo]

No worries. :-)

I would find a command history to be useful in the following situations:

- I want to know the context when I entered a given command, e.g.  I did, a, b, then c

- Someone asks me for the list of commands I used to get to a certain state in a project

- Similar to prior use case, but use the history to create a script file that can be executed 

- I entered something 15 commands ago and I don't feel like using up arrow to go find it :-)

cheers,
keith

We need to change that for this release of SwitchYard.  Once we have that in place, we can look at how the plugin could be pulled down directly from a Maven repository instead of copying directly into ~/.forge/plugins (which is what I think we do today).

I noticed there is a ~/.forge/cmd_history file, but I didn't see a command which actually lists the content of that file from within forge itself.  You can use the arrow keys to navigate in command history, so I'm sure this is being read for that.
