[aerogear-dev] Scaffolding / Rapid Development Tools

Hi, We are currently brainstorming on the different ways that can speed up the development time of a project using Aerogear. Speeding up the development include several concepts : * Setting up the project structure. * Scaffolding the Backend logic based on user inputs. * Scaffolding the CRUD views based on your domain model / user inputs. * Boost the test/integration/deployment process What do you we currently have ? In the Java/JEE corner : Well, Maven offers already some kind of project structure if you follow its conventions. Regarding scaffolding we have a tool called "forge" in which you can plug in "quite" easily extensions to customize the scaffolding. In the JS corner : We have tools like Grunt andYeoman which will be able to handle the front end stuff What is the targeted audience ? That's one of the first challenges : * We have JEE/Java * We have JS developpers * We have mobile native developpers And of course, most of the time we will have a mix of these 3 profiles ... For example, JS devs won't be very excited if they have only maven/forge as options to boost up the development time. On the contrary, Java/JEE devs would like to stick to existing tools that fits well in their development process ... We could propose a tool for each profile or find a way in the middle, but I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, remarks. Regards, Seb
