Re: [forge-dev] JBoss Stacks: Requirements

Hi Everybody, Jay, Jonathan, Brian We are cataloging the Archetypes on JDF (as you can see on Pete's email below). Part of the Job was done - Get the YAML file format - https://github.com/jboss-jdf/jdf-stack/blob/master/stacks.yaml - YAML file Parser - https://github.com/jboss-jdf/jdf-stack/blob/master/Parser.java Those informations (BOMs, Runtimes, Archetypes) will be presented on JDF site. A preview can be found here: http://site-jdf.rhcloud.com/stack/stacks/ So the main point is: Do you want the errai, html5 and richfaces archetypes included also ?
