Forge Ahead with Java Development

How many times have you wanted to start a new project in Java, but struggled with copying and pasting all the pieces together? Has the Maven archetype syntax left you with your eyes crossed? Everyone else is talking about Rails, Grails, and Roo, and you're left thinking, “I wish it were that easy for Java EE.” Well, it is!

JBoss Forge can take you from 0 to Java web application in few swift keystrokes. Forge helps streamline application development, eases the pain of setting up enterprise testing and integration, and utilizes the full power of JBoss Tools for development, Arquillian for testing, and JBoss AS 7 for local deployment and OpenShift for cloud deployment. You can even switch seamlessly between Forge and the Eclipse-based JBoss Developer Studio. Together, let's build a real application, test it, extend it, and deploy it locally and to the cloud!
