[jira] [Updated] (CLI-298) Define CLI options via configuration
file
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-298?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Richard updated CLI-298:
------------------------
Description:
Create a configuration that enables users to define CLI options via a configuration file. Such configuration would normally pre-defined and bundled inside the executable jar running the application. This would reduce the amount of code required to define command line options and introduce the ability to do a lot of the checking a user does (such as converting values to integers, files, checking if integers are above/below a certain amount, checking that files or directories do/don't exist etc.) For security purposes, at compile time calculate an MD5 for the application, if this doesn't match at runtime warn of corrupted file exception. Also add I18N since this will be driven via the user experience for exception messages.
Code already started with a pull request at [https://github.com/zendawg/commons-cli] underneath the branch named "cli-configuration".
Apologies in advance, never contributed to Apache SWF before.
