[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-719) Design an user interface API for addons

George Gastaldi commented on FORGE-719:
---------------------------------------
It would be nice to have a common API with could be used to provide some tips to the UI
Engine (SWT in case of Eclipse, Swing in IntelliJ and Shell) on how to ask for parameters
for a specific command. In Shell, we can do that by prompting the user for each necessary
parameter (unless it is explicitly set). In an UI, they would be probably be rendered as
text fields.
What we need is a domain model that fit in this proposal and also allowing some extra
features, like input validation, mutually exclusive command options (as described in
FORGE-297). As typesafe, I meant to allow the use of a Javabean to store the input for a
specific parameter or group of parameters.

Project: Forge
Issue Type: Story
Components: Brainstorming
Reporter: George Gastaldi
Fix For: 2.0.0.Alpha1

Let's use this JIRA to brainstorm about it.
