Re: [forge-dev] [forge-users] faq?
by Lincoln Baxter, III
Hey that's awesome! I hope this is a fun thing to work on, and not just an
annoyance :) I'll try to help wherever possible.
First.. you'll need an account on http://github.com, then you'll need git:
http://git-scm.com/
Then you'll want to fork the repository on github:
https://github.com/forge/plugin-hibernate-tools This will create a copy of
the code in your account, you'll do all of your work on that fork, then
submit a "Pull Request" when you want to push the code up to the master
repository. I can help you with that later if you are not familiar with Git.
Do you need a git quickstart?
There is a formal contribution guide here, but I wouldn't worry about this
except for agreeing to the JBoss CLA (I really don't know why we require
this, for legal protection I guess.)
http://seamframework.org/Documentation/SeamForge#H-Contribute
If you are using Forge Alpha3 and don't need to debug live, then you don't
need to build Forge from source... so you can just build and test the plugin
while forge runs, like so:
$ forge source-plugin /path/to/plugin/project/folder
This will build and load your plugin dynamically (assuming it builds :)
You'll probably want to join forge-dev, just in case you want to ask more
questions about the development itself :)
https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/forge-dev
I believe max is saying you'll need to build hibernate-tools (
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-tools) locally and add it to the
plugin POM, but I went ahead and deployed a snapshot so all you'll need to
do is add this to the plugin POM:
https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/org/hibernate/hi...
While working on the plugin project in forge:
> $ project add-dependency org.hibernate:hibernate-tools:3.4.0.CR2-SNAPSHOT
>
>
I think I found the plugin code, max is this right?
https://github.com/maxandersen/forge/blob/htools/persistence-plugin/src/m...
That just needs to be copied over into this new plugin project and updated
to use the new forge APIs, andI think all of the Inject project instance
stuff can be replaced by @Inject private Project project;
I hope this is good information,
~Lincoln

Agreed. I've put this on the roadmap for Alpha4. We have a lot of work to do
in this regard.

Maven plugins configuration
by Paul Bakker
Hi all,
I've been working on some Forge plugins that require adding plugins to the
Maven configuration. For example:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0-beta-3</version>
<configuration>
<reportPlugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.2</version>
</plugin>
</reportPlugins>
</configuration>
</plugin>
It's fairly easy to add a new plugin, all tough the get/set API of Maven is
not great. Adding configuration to a plugin (as in the above example) is
very painful though because you need to parse the XML from a string. We
should have a builder API like the one available for adding dependencies. I
would be happy to work on this, but I want to discuss what's the best way to
approach this. The difficult thing is that anything could be within the
configuration tag.
One option would be to use Groovy for this. Groovy has an excellent XML
builder. Plugin authors could use Groovy directly to create the XML
structure, we should only provide an Adaptor to easily transform the Groovy
node structure to a Maven node structure. On top of that we could provide a
Java API like this:
configuration.addElement("reportPlugins")
.addElement("plugin")
.addElement("groupId") etc.
With Groovy it would also be easy to, for example, check if an configuration
element already exists.
If we would use Groovy that means Groovy has to be on the classpath too of
course.

Bug? adding servlet to web.xml
by Brian Leathem
In my forge plugin, I call:
ServletFacet servlet = project.getFacet(ServletFacet.class);
WebAppDescriptor descriptor = servlet.getConfig();
descriptor.servlet("Faces Servlet", FacesServlet.class.getName(),
"*.jsf", "/faces/*");
and I end up with:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Faces Servlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
