[James Strachan (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2734?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13371727#comment-13371727 ] 

James Strachan commented on FORGE-2734:
---------------------------------------

good point!

I wonder if we could define a constant, say, `org.jboss.forge.ui.Results.ENTITY` or something - and make that constant be that same thing as a String. So for now we could adopt using the same String value for now until the new forge release is out when we can all switch to the official constant expression?

> when using an IDE or a REST API it can be handy to have a command that returns some result object that can be a blob of data that can be parsed/used by a program rather than textual console output.
> e.g. return a blob of JSON from a REST GET/POST on a forge command.
> We have a message a String which is great for textual status messages. But it might be nice to add an optional _entity_ property which folks could access from an IDE or REST API
