[forge-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (SEAMFORGE-253) Provide a way for external processes to communicate with Forge

Provide a way for external processes to communicate with Forge --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMFORGE-253 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-253 Project: Seam Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Koen Aers For the Eclipse Forge Tools I need to be able to do the following: - ask Forge for the list of available commands in the current context - ask Forge for the plugin/command/option metadata Ideally this should be done by sending Forge a 'meta' command that doesn't get executed but triggers a user provided listener (pretty much like a Forge plugin) that can build and send back the response. I have experimented with a Forge plugin providing this behaviour but of course then this plugin shows up in the list of available commands which I don't want. This plugin had an alias that started with the ansi escape sequence so that its echo was easily detected and handled appropriately. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
