AppFuse

What do you like best?

Out-of-the-box functionality! AppFuse provides a project skeleton, similar to the one that's created by an IDE when one clicks through a "new web project" wizard. AppFuse 1.x uses Ant to create the project, as well as build/test/deploy it, whereas AppFuse 2.x uses Maven 2 for these tasks. IDE support was improved in 2.0 by leveraging Maven plugins to generate IDE project files.

What do you dislike?

Not being able to gain access to this product! It's great but now I recommends using JHipster as an alternative. It provides all the same ease of use! Same Out-of-the-box functionality allows me to quickly get started and get a projects implemented and on it's way. There is no ramp up time in building new web applications! This saves a lot of time and as we know time is money! Being able to talk about a project and get it live is the best thing, no one wants to wait everyone is hyped up and wants to see the end results!

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Start no with Hipster
