George Gastaldi commented on FORGE-2653:
----------------------------------------

Totally agree. Had this in my todo list but haven't created a JIRA for it. I struggle a bit when trying to define it.
Do you have any suggestions?

Forge is a project management tool that allows you to automate repetititve, boring development tasks that you would probably google it, like setting up JPA in a Java eE 7 application using Maven for example (what files should be changed? What should go into those files?), . It sports a set of addons for the most used technologies nowadays and integrates with your favorite IDE to provide a seamless experience.

> I looked at the forge.jboss.org page and the pages linked from it for several minutes trying to find an actual description of what jboss forge is, and other than "JBoss Forge is the Fastest way to build Maven-based Java EE projects,
> and anything else you fancy." I couldn't find anything.  Very frustrating.  I still don't know what on earth it is.
