discussion: Simple mode of creating new project

[CsCherrYY]

now the simple mode of creating new project includes 3 steps

1. select target folder
2. select dsl type
3. specify project name

It's possible to set a default dsl type and use the folder's name as the project's default name, and simplify the steps into one step - select target folder.

Hi @CsCherrYY, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

Suggestions

• Auto-select DSL & derive project name

  • Pre-fill the DSL choice (Maven / Gradle) with your default and use the selected folder’s name as the project name. See how the Java Dependency extension discusses skipping steps in its Create Project UI: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-dependency/issues/605

• Provide a one-click “Empty Project” template

  • Add a separate entry in your Create Project command palette that scaffolds a minimal project without additional parameters, similar to how the Maven extension offers a basic project option: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-maven/issues/869#issuecomment-1504595612

Other references with low confidence

• “Generate from Maven Archetype” (#354): proposes defaulting archetype versions and could inspire skipping parameter prompts but focuses on archetypes rather than a true single-step flow. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-maven/issues/354#issuecomment-506108716

The team will respond to your issue shortly. I hope these suggestions are helpful in the meantime. If this comment helped you, please give it a 👍. If the suggestion was not helpful or incorrect, please give it a 👎. Your feedback helps us improve!
