JBoss Forge 1.3.0.Final is now available for download !

It is with great pleasure that we announce that JBoss Forge 1.3.0.Final is now available. Why the minor update ? Check it out.

New and Noteworthy

• Scaffold-x plugin: We have taken the Scaffold plugin to another level. This plugin was designed from ground up for better flexibility and performance.

scaffold-x from resource.java

• Maven Mirrors are now fully supported: Now you can add your mirrors in your maven settings.xml file and Forge will use that to resolve the necessary artifacts.

• Proxy is globally enabled: Do you use proxies ? Well, fear no more, as now Forge will correctly use your proxy settings when resolving external artifacts

• EAR Support:: Now you can create EAR projects easily as:

new-project --type ear

• Wildfly support: That’s right ! Now you can choose WildFly, one of the best AS in the planet in the list of supported JPA Containers, as in:

persistence setup --provider HIBERNATE --container WILDFLY

And much more, check out the release notes below and see why Forge IS the best JavaEE development tool
