Summary
The documentation is notably Windows-centric: all local environment setup commands use Windows Command Prompt syntax, file editing is shown with Notepad, and troubleshooting provides only PowerShell solutions for line ending issues. There are no equivalent Linux/macOS shell commands or editor suggestions, and the test environment is explicitly stated as Windows. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, especially in the setup and troubleshooting steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux/macOS shell commands (e.g., mkdir, cd, rm -rf) alongside Windows Command Prompt commands.
  • Suggest cross-platform or Linux-native editors (e.g., nano, vim, VS Code) in addition to Notepad.
  • Include Linux/macOS troubleshooting steps for line ending issues (e.g., using dos2unix or sed).
  • Note that Maven and Java commands are cross-platform, but clarify any OS-specific differences.
  • Explicitly state when a command or tool is Windows-only and provide alternatives for other platforms.
  • Consider reordering examples or providing tabs for Windows and Linux/macOS instructions.
