Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. PowerShell and Windows Command Prompt (cmd) examples are provided for Java, while Bash is only one of several tabs. There are explicit references to 'command prompt' and Windows-style paths (e.g., '\src\main\java\com\fabrikam'), and the Maven archetype flow includes PowerShell and cmd instructions before Bash. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools or patterns (such as xargs, grep, or Linux file paths), and Linux/Bash examples are not consistently prioritized or explained. The use of 'command prompt' and Windows-centric terminology may confuse Linux users. There are no explicit Linux-only examples or troubleshooting notes for Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Bash/Linux examples are presented first or equally alongside PowerShell/cmd, especially in tabbed code blocks.
  • Use platform-neutral terminology such as 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt'.
  • Include Linux file path examples (e.g., /src/main/java/com/fabrikam) alongside Windows paths.
  • Add troubleshooting notes or tips for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, environment variables).
  • Explicitly mention that all commands work on Linux/macOS unless otherwise noted.
  • Where PowerShell/cmd are shown, always provide a Bash equivalent and clarify platform differences.
  • Highlight cross-platform compatibility for Azure Functions Core Tools and other required tools.
