Hi everybody,

I went a few times through the tutorial on writing Java source Forge commands. Great effort! It was about time we have things like this (which is more a bad feedback for me, as I wanted to write something like this for quite a long time, but I haven't yet done it ;)).

So, here is some things that I think can be improved:

- Shouldn't the FAQ and the tutorial be separate documents?

Yes, that's the idea

 

- Where did the UML diagram of the commands type structure go?

It's here https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2109

I took it off because it's not what we have at the moment. I've started some refactoring so we would end up with a cleaner class hierarchy.

 

- According to the title and to the introductory paragraphs of the tutorial section, a reader would feel that this is a generic paper about writing Forge commands in their own addon (something like in the Developing Forge section in the HoL). However, it is more about extending existing [core] addons with new commands. So maybe this could be stated more explicitly in the title?

Good point 

 

- The Metada.name method gets a string which is by convention something like "<command group>: <command name>". Maybe it could be explained how would this translate on the command line and in the IDE, what are the common command groups and what is the convention for the command names

Feel free to explain it, I didn't know there was such a structure, I thought it was just free text (I don't use IDEs, just CLI ;o)

 

- I personally need a better explanation about the difference between @AddonDeployments and ShrinkWrap.addAsAddonDependenies

Yes, I asked a few question to Lincoln and George. Their answer were ok, but I would like to have a deeper explanation. 

 

- It would be clearer if the UITestHarness and ShellTest classes and their purpose should be introduced right before the test methods that they are used in (checkCommandMetadata and checkCommandShell respectively) and not in the beginning of the section. Thus the reader does not lose the context around those test helper classes at the point they are used for the first time

Hum... I don't get it, feel free to update the doc

- In the beginning of the Let's add some business code section you refresh the readers about our goal (i.e. to create a constraint class), but not about the Forge command that we wrote before the test section. It may be a good idea to remind the reader about that as well, so that she does not have to scroll up to find what she did so far

Done

 

- It would be a good idea to have a few sentences about what is a facet before it is introduced for the first time in testCreateNewPayload method

I don't know much about it, so if you have some knowledge, feel free to change it.

 

- There are some typos

I suppose that you can turn reviewing on and I can do myself some of the most obvious fixes (like the typos for example), which you can review afterwards?

I've added you write access to the doc. Feel free to change/comment/correct it

Thanks Ivan for your feedback

Antonio

 

Cheers,

Ivan
