SOURCES

• support sources as is (only includes/excludes), in new and load
• wrap file path list generation (filtering, all that)
• add support for garbage (w/ default value)
• add support for @defaults
• test @defaults in xproject/mlproj.json and ~/.mlproj.json
• link sources to databases and servers
• add support for filter
• add support for feeder
• add URI calculation support (decl. (root, prefix...) + function)
• add way to link to a JS file + function name (for filter, feeder, and uri)

In commands.js: // ************ // - Move these NEW_*() to files in a sub-dir, and load them. // - Transform them to give them a chance to inject some data, // asked for on the command line. // - Use different sub-dirs for different scaffoldings. // ************

• maintain the file extensions (and their types) in the project file
• allow command new to create projects with different scaffoldings
  • using "embedded" scaffoldings (empty, plain, complete, annotated, web, rest...)
  • using "remotes" ones (on Git repos?)
  • new can even create such scaffolding templates
  • and they can be published in a gallery
  • complete examples for outreach, or real operational scaffoldings
• new command add to add components, indexes, etc. by answering few questions
• new command mlcp to invoke MLCP with info from the environment files
• new command test to run tests from command line
• new command to install a XAR/XAW file
• new command to install a XAR/XAW from CXAN
• new command to publish to CXAN
• edit environment files from the Console
• word lexicons
• add support for triggers in environs

Support the following scenario (e.g. for the EXPath ML Console):

# check values are correct (supported)
mlproj -e dev -h myvm -u admin -z -p port:8010 show

# setup the environment (supported)
mlproj -e dev -h myvm -u admin -z -p port:8010 setup

# deploy modules (supported)
mlproj -e dev -h myvm -u admin -z -p port:8010 deploy

# initialize the app (to support)
mlproj -e dev -h myvm -u admin -z -p port:8010 init

which could/should be made easier:

# install everything (setup + deploy + init) (to support)
mlproj -e dev -h myvm -u admin -z -p port:8010 install
