[CLI] release soon
Hi All,
I intend to create a release candidate for CLI 1.5 soon. This will be the
last Java 7 release IMO and I plan on this being a simple kinde of release,
no big new feature. Feel free to look at Jira.
Beyond that, the snapshot POM can go to Java 8.
I am not sure if CLI has a future without a ton of work considering the
feature gap with other FOSS projects like JCommander and Picocli.

Keeping components on EOL Java versions like 7 is a hassle in general.
Building can be harder. It also makes components a lot less attractive to
new contribute.

Thank you for moving this forward!

Why if this is maintenance only? Do you expect somewhat to add major
changes which require Java 8? Don't invest more time than necessary.

Insane! I though JOpt Simple I use is nice, but those are a complete new
level. I wouldn't call them lightweight because they have tons of
features, seriously. Giving it more thought and knowing that the are
approx. 10+ Java-based CLI parsers, I would agree with you to send CLI
to maintenance mode unless it can do something much better than
picocli/JCommander/JOpt Simple/you name it.

From a user's POV, "picocli" is more "light-weight" (a simple command-line
setup is a two-liner) than "Commons CLI".
Or do you mean memory foot-print? Or something else?
Our more recent demo applications (see e.g. [RNG]) do not use [CLI].

Take a look at JCommander and Picocli.

"Lighter weight", in what sense?

I should add that a maintenance-only future is fine IMO, so we can still
have a smaller and lighter weight command line API compared to the other
projects I mentioned.
