> Need to have initial [Bower|http://bower.io/] tools support:
> *The gist*
> Bower tooling should initially support several bower API commands :
> |Command||Description|
> | *bower init* |creates a *bower.json* file|
> |*bower install <package>*|installs packages to *bower_components* folder|
> |*bower uninstall <package>*|uninstalls a package locally from *bower_components* directory|
> |*bower update* |updates installed packages to their newest version according to *bower.json*|
> Basically, the main idea of the implementation is the following:
> Eclipse plugin that will execute *external* bower commands - implementation will fall back on *native* bower installation via *ILaunchConfiguration*
> Native bower tools must be preinstalled
> *The main questions & proposals:*
> 1. https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-playground is probably the best place for initial implementation of bower stuff (infrastructure / build etc.)
> 2. UI. should it be ILaunchShortcuts ("bower init" / "bower update" etc.) + launch configuration enabled for projects with js nature?
> 3. Implementation details:
> - the way of detecting bower? Should user point to it's installation dir and this location will be used for IExternalToolConstants.ATTR_LOCATION (windows case: *\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\bower* ) 
> - if bower was not detected / installed - "Error message with a link to the bower website with installation details depending on the platform"
