---------------------------

             Summary: Define CLI options via configuration file
                 Key: CLI-298
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-298
             Project: Commons CLI
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: CLI-2.x
    Affects Versions: 1.5
            Reporter: Richard
             Fix For: 1.5


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.

 

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.
