[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-385) Current directory is poor default for new-project location when existing project is detected

Current directory is poor default for new-project location when existing project is detected -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: FORGE-385 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-385 Project: Forge Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Builtin Plugins Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Beta3 Reporter: Dan Allen Priority: Minor Labels: Starter Fix For: 1.2.3.Final When creating a new project using the new-project command, forge will offer the current directory as the target location if a project with the same name is found. {code} $ new-project --named example --topLevelPackage org.example ***ERROR*** [/home/dallen/example] already contains a project; please use a different folder. Where would you like to create the project? [Press ENTER to use the current directory: dallen] {code} This default is a recipe for disaster. If there is a project in the way, then using the current directory puts that project *in* the project being created. Additionally, if the current directory is $HOME, then the project will get overlaid in a directory which has many other files and directories. A better default is to append a number to the end of the project name. For example: {code} $ new-project --named example --topLevelPackage org.example ***ERROR*** [/home/dallen/example] already contains a project; please use a different folder. Where would you like to create the project? [Press ENTER to use an alternative directory: example2] {code}
