Going through my hastily hand written notes from that day...
while "inside" the entity command, Ctrl-C does not work - user had to stop forge
(red button) and start up again.
I can jira these things if needed.
this ctrl-c one is an issue with the eclipse integration - just like in the written
tutorial, we promote only the eclipse-based version of forge so I have not tried the pure
command line version.

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 -
