[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-17697) Use picocli instead of commons-cli
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17697?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18114665#comment-18114665 ]
ASF subversion and git services commented on SOLR-17697:
--------------------------------------------------------
Commit 1ae21164b5bc557eefad07f30795494dd4f01da8 in solr's branch refs/heads/jira/SOLR-17697-picocli from Jan Høydahl
[ https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=solr.git;h=1ae21164b5b ]
Merge branch 'main' into jira/SOLR-17697-picocli
Resolved conflicts in gradle/libs.versions.toml (kept picocli, took main's
prometheus-metrics 1.8.0) and in gradle.lockfiles (took main's, then
regenerated with resolveAndLockAll to re-add picocli entries).
Ran updateLicenses, which removed stale bcprov/bcutil 1.81.1 sha1 files.

> Apache commons-cli has served us well for years, but our CLI has out-grown its capabilities, with multiple sub commands and a plethora of options and arguments. We have much custom code to work around limitations.
> By embracing [Picocli|https://picocli.info/], an annotation based cli framework, it will be easier to maintain the cli and add further tools. We propose to target 10.1 and do work gradually in a feature branch.
> The feature branch is {{{}jira/SOLR-17697-picocli{}}}, you can view it in a [draft PR not intended for merge|https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/3254]. That PR has a description on how to contribute, and a checklist of tools not yet converted. Once all tools are converted, all tests are green and all docs updated, we can merge this work.
> There is an env var {{SOLR_PICOCLI=true}} that we currently use to swtich from old commons-cli and new picocli. Once the feature branch is merged we can choose to make SOLR_PICOCLI default to true but retain the old commons-cli parser code for a few releases, so there will be a workaround for potential bugs.
