Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by frequently presenting Windows (cmd) examples alongside Bash, and sometimes listing Windows-specific instructions or terminology first. While Bash examples are provided for most CLI commands, there is a consistent pattern of giving equal or slightly prioritized attention to Windows command prompt (cmd) usage, which may not be necessary for a Java developer audience that is often cross-platform. There are no explicit Linux-only instructions or tools, and some sections (such as environment variable setup) do not clarify differences between Windows and Linux environments. There is also a lack of explicit Linux troubleshooting or environment-specific guidance, and no mention of Linux-native editors or shells beyond Bash.
Recommendations:
- Wherever command-line examples are given, consider listing Bash (Linux/macOS) examples first, as these are more universally applicable for Java developers.
- Reduce the prominence of Windows cmd examples, or move them to expandable sections to avoid cluttering the main flow for cross-platform users.
- Add explicit notes or troubleshooting tips for Linux environments, such as file permissions, case sensitivity, or common issues with environment variables.
- Include references to Linux-native editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs, Nano) in addition to IDEs, or at least acknowledge their use in terminal-based workflows.
- Ensure that all instructions for setting environment variables, file paths, and permissions are cross-platform, with clear distinctions where necessary.
- Provide parity in troubleshooting and setup guidance for both Windows and Linux, especially in sections dealing with local development, environment variables, and deployment.
