These last weeks, we have been working hard to enable an exciting new feature of the Forge
/ JBoss Tools integration. The idea was to generate a popup with a list of plugins for
which commands can be applied in the Forge console when a 'special shortcut' is
pressed, much similar to the quick access feature in Eclipse.
To do this we needed to enable hidden communication of metadata from JBoss Tools to the
Forge runtime and back. Today I am pleased to show the first results of this in the form
of a first screenshot.

As you can see the popup contains a list of the Forge plugins for which there is a command
applicable right after starting up Forge in JBoss Tools. The default way to bring up this
popup is currently the key combination 'Cmd+4'.
Of course a lot of work still needs to be done for this to become really useful: all the
applicable commands need to appear as children of the listed plugins and for these
commands the different options need to appear somehow (probably as a new prepopulated
popup). Afterwards the complete commands should be pasted into the Forge console view and
executed.
Feedback and/or ideas are more than welcome!
Cheers,
Koen
