[CLI] future and JCommander ?
Hi All,
For some new development, I have dropped using our [cli] in favor of
http://jcommander.org/ (also ASL2 licensed), which I find refreshingly
modern and easy to use (annotations!)
My suggestion is to rapidly move our [cli] in this direction or invite
JCommander in as [cli] 2.0/3/0.
Thoughts?
Gary

Hi Gary!
they provide same basic features, but Airlines is IMHO a little
stronger in 3 points:
* drives users on pure command pattern implementation, while in
JCommander you can have just a container of passed parameters;
* simplifies the building of commands tree, such as `git remote add`
or `git remote show` while on JCommander it is not intuitive how to
reach the 2nd level of commands (undocumented anyway)
* help usage is handled out of the box, while in JCommander you have
to handle it manually.
HTH, have a nice weekend!

Hi Simo,
Thank you for the pointer. What are the pro and cons of JCommander vs.
Airline?

Hi Gary,
there's also new guy in the town, which is called Airline[1], that
supports the Git like commands structures. I am JCommander user as
well but in one of the last projects I plugged Airline and I really
liked it - the Help command is really straightforward! :)
Just to say what's the state of the art.
I am +1 on moving forward CLI in that direction.
Best,
-Simo
