[forge-dev] forge list-commands

Last Friday, while in Boston, we ran a few dozen people through our "Getting Started Tutorial" - a hands-on lab http://www.jboss.org/jdf/examples/ticket-monster/tutorial/Introduction/ I made several notes on "gotchas" that students struggled with and one of them was forge's "list-commands". In the tutorial, we instruct the student to use the "entity" command and one student said "hey, this list-commands is broken, entity is not listed". and my immediate response was "yes, list-commands rarely tells me what I want" and the students response was "then how do I know what Forge offers me" and my response was "you have to read a document, like this tutorial we provided". The light-bulb turns on - we must have a usability problem :-) At this time, People mostly wish to use Forge to: - new project - new entity (with bean validations) - rest endpoints - jsf scaffolding - reverse engineer a database So, we need a better list-commands and better docs that "list out the commands". Based on current "docs", Forge only does a few things - https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/FORGE/Samples :-)
