Description
The jcmdline package is a Java package with the following goals:
- Facilitate parsing/handling of command line parameters.
- Add consistency to command line parameter parsing and command
usage display through all executables of a Java application.
- Automatically generate a command usage based upon defined
command line parameters..
Features of the package include:
- Parses command line options and arguments.
- Supports frequently used parameter types - booleans, strings,
integers, dates, file names...
- Performs common validation tasks - checks for number ranges,
file/directory attributes, values that must be from a specified
set, etc..
- Displays neatly formatted usage and error message in response
to parameter specification errors.
- Provides support for commonly used command line options (such
as -help and -version) and a means to standardize command line
options across all executables of a project.
- Supports hidden options.
Development Status
This package is stable and production worthy.
At present it supports only the English language. All strings
are handled via ResourceBundle, though, and any assistance with
translation to other languages would be greatly appreciated!
