Figured out why my quick demo didnt work, lol...

I forgot META-INF/beans.xml

This will be relieved when we get the new-project plugin able to create forge addon projects :)

Clone the forge core repo:

    git clone git@github.com:forge/core.git forge-core

https://github.com/forge/core/tree/2.0

Make sure to check out the 2.0 branch.
 

    cd forge-core

    git checkout 2.0

    mvn clean install

Check out and build the forge-jbosstools repo:

    git clone git@github.com:forge/jbosstools-forge.git

Check out the forge2 branch

https://github.com/forge/jbosstools-forge/

    cd plugins/

    mvn clean install

Now... if you want to install some of the pre-existing addons: (really required to be able to work with forge in Eclipse, you at least need the addon manager.)

Use these instructions for Forge 1 when installing the distribution from your local build: (http://forge.jboss.org/docs/using/)

   core/dist/target/forge-distribution-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip

Now you will be able to use the addon-manager from Eclipse Forge 2 wizards.

Press CTRL-6 to launch the Forge command chooser in Eclipse.

Some examples of addons can be found:

https://github.com/forge/core/tree/2.0/projects

We recommend this project layout, but you only need to do one pom/project with all sources/resources/etc. You don't need a multi-module build.

Please, join the forge-dev@lists.jboss.org, and also the #forge IRC channel on irc.freenode.net

Thanks!
