[forge-users] How to create a new scaffold-x provider

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Hey There,

Sorry for the late reply - the holiday season is always difficult.

First, I have to recommend that you try upgrading to Forge 2, since it will
make doing this infinitely easier. Forge 1 did not really handle extensions
very well beyond the simple plugin mechanism. Forge 2 is much simpler and
easier to extend, and Forge 1 is no longer under development or maintenance.

You should take a look at the new AngularJS scaffold for Forge 2. The code
is still a bit cluttered, sorry, but the concept of extending Forge 2 is
far simpler:

http://forge.jboss.org/addon/org.jboss.forge.addon:angularjs

Just implement the ScaffoldProvider interface, then install your addon into
Forge 2:

https://github.com/forge/angularjs-addon/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jboss/forge/addon/angularjs/AngularScaffoldProvider.java

Once your addon is installed (see installation instructions on the
angularjs addon page - just replace with your addon's coordinates) your
scaffold should be listed in the choices for available scaffolding when
running the "Scaffold - Generate" / 'scaffold-generate' command.

I hope this is helpful, and sorry again for the late reply.
