Provide a way for external processes to communicate with Forge 
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SEAMFORGE-253
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-253
             Project: Seam Forge
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Koen Aers


For the Eclipse Forge Tools I need to be able to do the following:
- ask Forge for the list of available commands in the current context
- ask Forge for the plugin/command/option metadata 
Ideally this should be done by sending Forge a 'meta' command that doesn't get executed but triggers a user provided listener (pretty much like a Forge plugin) that can build and send back the response. 
I have experimented with a Forge plugin providing this behaviour but of course then this plugin shows up in the list of available commands which I don't want. This plugin had an alias that started with the ansi escape sequence so that its echo was easily detected and handled appropriately.
