I am starting a new project and thought that since Appfuse 2.0 was close I'd
start using it instead of Appfuse 1.9.x.

The process has been remarkably clean, and the last few days has gotten even
cleaner. Still, there are a few things that have stumped me that I think
could be added to the QuickStart document.

1) When creating your application using the mvn commands in the QuickStart,
the project is created as a subdirectory of  appfuse. This is different than
with Appfuse 1.x. Is this on purpose, or am I doing something wrong? I run
the command from my "eclipseWorkspaces/appfuse2.x" subdirectory. Is there a
reason not to move them up to the same level as appfuse. I'm getting the
idea that Appfuse 2.x intends to maintain the link between your created
application and Appfuse itself, allowing updates to the core Appfuse classes
to be easily reflected in dependent applications. Appfuse is in a sense
becoming a "runtime" component of dependent applications.

I think this may be an issue for AppFuse 1.x users, but I think it
makes sense. If you run a "create project" command, you wouldn't
expect it to put all the files in your current directory, but rather a
sub-directory.

2)  A lot of people moving to Appfuse 2.0 will be new to Maven. A short
cheat list of commonly used Maven2 commands would be nice. The main one that
comes to mind would be how to completely clean the appfuse project
directory.  Even after reading the intro at http://maven.apache.org I was at
a loss as to how to clean the project so I could use Eclipse to view
incoming updates/changes (i.e. from Team->Synchronize). I tried "mvn clean"
as the Maven site suggests, but that leaves the new application
subdirectories in place.

I've added the most commonly-used commands at:

http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Maven+2


I did look through the list and docs for the above info. If it is there, my
apologies - maybe a link from the QuickStart would help.

Thanks for an awesome project - Richard

Thanks for the feedback!

Matt
