[forge-dev] Running Furnace (Forge container) in a flat classloader

[Ivan St. Ivanov]

Hi George,

If I got it right, that's really awesome! No, no, let me put it in another
way: that's amazing!!! :)

Let me try and explain what I got.

If I add dependency in my project to furnace-embedded and to Forge BOM (or
whichever project that exports maven addons, i.e. commands), I will be able
to call those addons/commands programmatically form my project.

That is, I can use the simple container to look up e.g. the create project
command and run it, configuring it with the "input" like the UI does. And
this will create a new project for me without running Forge as a separate
process. Right?

Cheers,
Ivan
