Hello,

Antonio Goncalves pointed out in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2331 (also in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2469) that some input configurations could be reused.

For example, the targetPackage although is used in several commands, is initialized differently on some commands.

What would you think it would be a nice strategy to reuse UIInputComponents?

Based on Antonio's suggestions, I have elaborated 2 proposals:

1) Introduce specializations of UIInput:

Eg: @Inject private TargetPackage targetPackage; (Where TargetPackage extends UIInput<String>)

More info here:https://gist.github.com/gastaldi/46b3f38bc38c5efcc0ba

2) Move the component creation to utility classes:

eg: @Inject InputFactory factory;

and in the initializeUI of the UICommand:

targetPackage = factory.createTargetPackage(builder) ;

Of course, we could have a mix of both, but I would like to know your thoughts about each proposal.

Best Regards,
