<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>These last weeks, we have been working hard to enable an exciting new feature of the Forge / JBoss Tools integration. The idea was to generate a popup with a list of plugins for which commands can be applied in the Forge console when a 'special shortcut' is pressed, much similar to the quick access feature in Eclipse. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>To do this we needed to enable hidden communication of metadata from JBoss Tools to the Forge runtime and back. Today I am pleased to show the first results of this in the form of a first screenshot.</p><p><a href="http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-4043-16839/forge-ctrl-4-popup.png"><span> http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-4043-16839/450-337/forge-ctrl-4-popup.png </span></a>As you can see the popup contains a list of the Forge plugins for which there is a command applicable right after starting up Forge in JBoss Tools. The default way to bring up this popup is currently the key combination 'Cmd+4'. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Of course a lot of work still needs to be done for this to become really useful: all the applicable commands need to appear as children of the listed plugins and for these commands the different options need to appear somehow (probably as a new prepopulated popup). Afterwards the complete commands should be pasted into the Forge console view and executed. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Feedback and/or ideas are more than welcome!</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Koen</p></div>
