Summary:
The documentation generally provides both Bash and Cmd (Windows Command Prompt) examples for command-line operations, but Cmd/Windows examples are consistently presented alongside or immediately after Bash, sometimes with more detailed explanations. There is a notable absence of explicit Linux-specific tools, troubleshooting, or environment setup guidance. No PowerShell-specific examples are present, but the documentation does not mention or show Linux-specific package managers, shell peculiarities, or troubleshooting steps. The focus on Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, and Eclipse is cross-platform, but some references (such as environment variable setup and folder structure) assume familiarity with Windows conventions. There are no Linux-only examples or sections, and some tables and explanations list Windows before Linux.
Recommendations:
- Ensure Linux examples are always presented alongside Windows examples, and not only as Bash tabs but also in narrative explanations.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting tips, such as permissions, file paths, and environment variable setup (e.g., export JAVA_HOME).
- Add explicit notes about differences in file system case sensitivity, path separators, and common issues on Linux.
- When listing supported OS or Java versions, alternate the order or present Linux first in some cases.
- Provide examples using Linux package managers (apt, yum) for installing Java or Maven where appropriate.
- Clarify that all CLI commands work on both Windows and Linux, and highlight any OS-specific caveats.
- Consider adding a dedicated section for Linux/macOS development environment setup and common pitfalls.
