Summary:
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity but exhibits subtle Windows bias. Command-line examples are consistently provided for both Bash (Linux/macOS) and Cmd (Windows), but the Windows/Cmd examples are always presented after Bash, which is a positive sign. However, there is a lack of explicit PowerShell examples, but the use of 'command prompt' and 'Cmd' tabs may implicitly favor Windows users. Some references, such as 'command prompt' and 'open a new command prompt, Bash, or Terminal session,' prioritize Windows terminology or list it first. There are no Linux-specific tools or troubleshooting sections, and some instructions (e.g., setting JAVA_HOME) do not clarify platform-specific differences. IDE guidance includes both Windows- and Linux-friendly tools, but there is a slight tendency to mention Windows-first patterns.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit PowerShell examples or clarify that Bash examples are for Linux/macOS and Cmd for Windows, and consider including PowerShell where relevant.
- When referencing terminals, use neutral phrasing such as 'terminal or command prompt' and avoid listing 'command prompt' first.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting tips, such as setting JAVA_HOME on Linux, file permissions, or common issues with Maven on Linux.
- Ensure that all environment variable and path examples are shown for both Windows and Linux (e.g., JAVA_HOME path formats).
- Where possible, provide parity in tool recommendations, such as mentioning Linux package managers for JDK installation.
- Review the order of presentation in tables and lists to ensure Linux is not always listed after Windows.
