             Summary: Being able to use ~ as the root project directory
                 Key: FORGE-2280
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2280
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: UI - Shell
    Affects Versions: 2.15.1.Final
            Reporter: Antonio Goncalves
             Fix For: 2.x Future


In Forge 1.x there was this notion of project root (with {{~~}}) but also the top level package root (with {{~}}). So we could write something like that :

{code}
new-project --named test --topLevelPackage com.mycomp.myproj
java new-class --named Test --package ~.constraints
Wrote com.mycomp.myproj.constraints.Test.java
{code}

With the {{--package ~.constraints}} paramater, it will create a class under {{com.mycomp.myproj.constraints}} because {{~}} represents the top level package {{com.mycomp.myproj}}.

This is not possible with Forge 2.x. The same code in Forge 2.x produces the following exception : 

{code}
project-new --named test --topLevelPackage com.mycomp.myproj
java-new-class --named Test --targetPackage ~.constraints
Exception when parsing/running: java-new-class --named Test6 --targetPackage ~.constraints, Invalid identifier : >~<
{code}

When writing Forge scripts, it's much easier and reusable to be able to use the {{~}} represents the top level package.
