About:
JBoss Forge is a suite of developer tools designed to accelerate the development of Java applications, particularly Jakarta EE projects. It provides a powerful command-line shell and IDE plugins to generate code, scaffold projects, and manage frameworks. The tool's main value proposition is automating repetitive setup tasks and enforcing best practices, allowing developers to focus on business logic.

Key Features:

Project scaffolding for Java EE/Jakarta EE
Add-on ecosystem for frameworks like AngularJS and Spring
Interactive shell and IDE integration
Code generation and reverse engineering

Use Cases:

Rapidly generating boilerplate code for new Java applications
Adding persistence, REST endpoints, and UI layers to existing projects

Alternatives:

Spring Boot CLI – Similar scaffolding capabilities but specifically for the Spring Boot ecosystem.
JHipster – Generates full-stack applications with a focus on modern web stacks and microservices.
