[forge-users] Forge 2.12 - How to install add-ons ?

[forge-users at lists.jboss.org]

Hello,

I'm using Forge 2.12 embedded in JBDS 8. Forge 1 had the command install-plugin which was very simpkle to use. For example, install-plugin jboss-as-7 or install-plugin arquillian. I don't know what was the reason that the syntax has changed in Forge 2 such that there is no any command that use to exist in Forge 1 that it still supported. 

So install-plugin doesn't exist any more and its equivalent in Forge 2 seems to be addon-install-from-git. So, to install arquillian, one needs to do:

addon-install-from-git --url https://github.com/forge/addon-arquillian.git --coordinate org.arquillian.forge:arquillian-addon. 

There are two problems here:

1. How could one invent the URL ?
2. No documentation explains what the hell --coordinate org.arquillian.forge:arquillian-addo means and what are other alternatives.
3. Using this command raises:
Downloading: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/jboss/jboss-parent/16/jboss-parent-16.pom

[SEVERE] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]

Many thanks in advance,
