[hibernate-dev] Thinking about Forge 2 plugins

[Hardy Ferentschik]

Good idea. I would like to get involved. Already collected some Forge experience (unfortunately it was not a pleasant one).
Let's talk on the team meeting.

This video will show you what we've been working on for the past while: namely a new architecture to allow extreme embed-ability, and real code re-use between addons (using our Modular container, called Furnace) https://github.com/forge/furnace (based on JBoss Modules and Maven). It does not go into great detail into many of these things, but is more of a high-level overview of the goals and features.

Ideally this tooling should be focused on getting users started with your projects quickly, so if you're interested in having a Forge plugin for your project, please send me an email off list, and we will get the process started. We are currently preparing for the launch of our new website, so it will probably still be a few months before we can do any intensive project addon development with teams.

Your release cycle is completely independent of ours. (Unless you are waiting for a new feature that is not yet released.)
