Re: [forge-dev] Forge Scaffold x-Project { Aerogear, Arquillian, Errai, Java EE, RichFaces, Spring } - inputs and meetings

Can you please point out the locations of the respective scaffold plugins you refer to, and give some introduction to the direction of planned development. I read from the meeting transcript: - extendable templates to prevent scaffold duplication - conventions must be established - scaffold generate tests Knowing Faces, Aerogear plugins and my proposed Errai plugin quite well I find it somewhat amusing to see them all be based on frameworks and provide some extendability, yet each in a very distinct and not very congruent way - perhaps my bad? During building my Errai plugin I found it e.g. difficult to implement thorough type safety and entity relationships when the calls of the scaffold are either per single file/entity ("generateFromEntity") or for all files/entities ("generateIndex"), both not so well suited for handling of _relationships_. Furthermore the development models are interestingly far apart: - Faces: unsafe JSP + converters/handlers/_named_ beans + server side - Errai: compile time type safety, intensive integrity validation, client side optimizations e.g. - the Errai compilation would fail, if a "Form"Composite declared a widget that is not found in its HTML template, thus enforcing the HTML template be generated _together_ with its "Form"Composite - by _re_building only _one_ entity (generateFromEntity) in Errai the generated code would possibly fail miserably w/o rebuilding also its related entities Honestly I found myself frequently in the miserable position to rebuild the complete entity model because of interdependencies. Anyway, while writing these lines I find interesting possibilities to decouple code for more flexibility :-) I am very interesting in evolving my plugin, so I hope you can give some idea about the planned templating etc. If there are not yet clear directions I am ready to scetch out the main issues I encountered for open discussions.

We're going to attempt making this work on Forge 1, and port the design over to Forge 2. While our work so far has covered fairly decent ground, it is mostly due to the commonalities in the scaffolds we work on - AngularJS and Aerogear. JSF/RichFaces, Errai are notable exceptions, and I'd like to propose a weekly/bi-weekly cross-scaffold team meeting to pour over the details of this new scaffold plugin, so that design decisions will attempt to accomodate all projects (instead of only HTML5 ones). 30 mins should be fine to start with, stretching to a maximum of an hour (if there are too many topics to discuss). > > I'd like to know what time would be suitable for this discussion.
