If you're interested in writing a Forge plugin and looking for something easy and interesting to try first, give the Envers plugin a go. It's a perfect starter project! https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-454 Envers adds auditing support to JPA entities with one dependency and one annotation. -Dan p.s. Btw, this would make an excellent Forge plugin tutorial, so write down the steps in a gist while you are doing them [1], then you'll get two credits out of it, as a plugin author and tutorial author.
