Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. While it provides both Bash and Windows Command Prompt (Cmd) examples for Maven and Azure CLI commands, the structure consistently presents Windows (Cmd) examples immediately after Bash, sometimes with more prominence. There is also a notable emphasis on Visual Studio Code and other Microsoft-centric tools, which are more commonly associated with Windows environments. However, Linux is represented in the OS support tables, and Bash examples are present throughout. There are no exclusive PowerShell-only instructions, but the documentation does not mention Linux-specific tools or patterns (e.g., native Linux package managers, shell scripting, or troubleshooting).
Recommendations:
- Present Bash (Linux/macOS) examples before Windows (Cmd) examples to reflect the prevalence of Linux in Java development.
- Include explicit references to Linux/macOS Terminal in all command-line instructions, not just 'Terminal' or 'command prompt'.
- Add troubleshooting or setup notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., setting JAVA_HOME, file permissions).
- Mention Linux-native editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs) or tools where appropriate, or at least acknowledge their use.
- Ensure parity in tool recommendations by highlighting cross-platform tools and workflows, not just Microsoft-centric ones.
- Where OS-specific instructions are needed, provide equal detail for Linux/macOS and Windows.
