Marcel Offermans commented on ACE-513:
--------------------------------------

I agree completely with the first three bullets.

I am not a big fan of creating multiple commands for the same things. Especially since the Gogo shell already provides an alias command that you can use if you don't like the default command names.

> The current workspace API has a couple of drawbacks that makes it less efficient when used in scripts. For example, the create methods ({{c*}}) do not all return the created repository object, needing a lookup if you want to do other stuff with that repository object after creation.
> A list of proposed changes:
> * let the create methods return the created object;
> * the {{da}} method should accept an {{ArtifactObject}} instead of an {{RepositoryObject}} (conform the other delete methods);
> * {{lr}} and {{lrp}} both do the same thing: list resource processors. Remove {{lr}} in favour of {{lrp}};
> * expose the {{createArtifact}}, {{createFeature}}, etc from {{WorkspaceImpl}} as this makes it easier to read in scripts (the shorthand versions are useful when working directly in gogo shell).
> Any thoughts, remarks?
