Hi,
I'm currently writing an article about Forge addons.
I'm beginning to write an addon, with @Command to start slowly and get the reader
hooked.
I'm a bit puzzled with the behaviour of @Option .
Attribute "value" is mandatory, OK but if I define a value, it is not displayed.
Why ??
The defaultValue has to be defined so it is displayed.
What are value and defaultValue for ?
How do they interact together ?
About the 'type' attribute. Is there other types than String supported ?
Integer and Long seem not to be recognized (or enforced).
Thank you
Jérôme

Hi Jérôme,
value() is meant to be the parameter name. Since this annotation method can be written in
the form @Option("named"), we (the forge team) decided to use it to represent
the option name. (Eg: my-command --named xxx)
DefaultValue as the name implies is the value set in the option when it is not filled.
The "type" as the javadoc states, is the input type hint (eg: should the option
be rendered as a combo box, radio buttons, etc) and the valid values are defined in the
InputType interface. In order to allow extensibility, we decided to use String to
represent it, so people could write plugin extensions and render an input in the way they
like. As you might have guessed, it is not used in the CLI version, only in IDEs.
Let me know if I have answered your questions, looking forward to reading this article ;)
Best Regards,
George Gastaldi

Thank you George,
The addon article will follow a first article on "using Forge2" to be published
early 2015 in the *French* GNU/Linux Magazine.
The message I put in the article is
"you can build your tools simply, in Java, have them in Eclipse and CLI without
learning SWT !!"
I assume you would not learn anything from it but I'll happily send an issue of the
magazine to Forge HQ when its at the newsstand.
Expect more questions from me
Best Regards,
Jérôme ( @wadael )

That looks fantastic! It's not true that we'll not learn anything from
it, we always learn something from articles. :)
Let me know if this will be published online, so we can promote in our
website, if possible :)
