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.
