These are the features currently planned for the PicketLink Forge Addon:

1) Adding the PicketLink dependencies to the project

2) Generating a custom Identity Model (this allows you to more easily tweak which state you store for your users)

3) Generate a JPA entity schema for an identity model - this goes hand in hand with 2).

4) Generate the IDM configuration

5) Generate the login bean classes (basically sets up all the server-side requirements for authentication)

6) Generate a login form (client side - JSF, HTML5, other view technologies possibly?)

7) Generate RESTful interfaces for authentication

8) Create an  @Admin typesafe security binding using Deltaspike

9) Setup multi-tenancy support if required.


Basically the addon will trivialize the setup for PicketLink, creating all the necessary classes and views to meet the needs of a typical application's security requirements.

You can track progress in JIRA:
