[gobo-eiffel-develop] Have a "gobo" tool

[Berend de B. <be...@po...>]

Hi All,

Would it be useful to have a gobo tool to make creating Eiffel
applications from the command-line easier? Example:

  gobo generate app "next-great-thing"

Which would simply write a default system.xace and build.eant. Saves
time, and makes writing "how to create an eiffel app" easier. Now I
always copy these files from an existing project, and edit them.

Tools like this have become quite common (I modelled the above example
on sencha cmd).

After we have step one working we can expand this with:

  gobo generate app --description "Build it and they will come" "next-great-thing"

It could perhaps start geant etc too (not sure why you want too):

  gobo geant compile_ge

i..e can become single entry point to run Gobo command-line tools.
