[forge-dev] Presentation for the JUGs

Hi everyone, Now with Forge already final, it's time for us to advertise it to our local JUGs. I would take the opportunity to talk about it in the Bulgarian JUG (somewhere in April though :-(). Here is what I plan to show: 1) General rant about Forge: what it is good for and how it differs from maven archetypes and Spring Roo (no religious stuff, I'm a Spring fan BTW) 2) Developing a Java EE application with scaffolding: here I would show something more complex than the conference sample app that Lincoln already presented on the Java2Days conference in Sofia last year. Here I would like to talk about some of the not so common features of the metawidget plugin. Any ideas? Of course also some Arquillian and OpenShift. 3) After a short break I would continue with a different type of application that you could implement with Forge. Looking at the plugins, maybe it could be the OSGi stuff. 4) Next: developing a plugin. Create a sample plugin, explanation of the different settings: command, options, usage of the shell prompt, the environment, the configuration API, etc. 5) Finally: the get involved section What do you think? Should I add something else or drop anything? Cheers, Ivan
