improve the current CLI engine
------------------------------
Key: ANY23-71
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ANY23-71
Project: Apache Any23
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.7.0
Reporter: Simone Tripodi
Fix For: 0.7.0
Actual CLI - even if nicely working - can be improved in therms of of both
internal architecture and user interface.
I see two main "issues" on current CLI:
* on UI, the CLI exposes internal details, since the {{ToolRunner}} requires
the classname of the tool has to be executed;
* on internals, each Tool has to parse the the chunk of the command line,
which can be automated.
So my proposal is to automate, via the already working plugins discovery, the
CLI arguments parsing AND implementing a svn/git commands-based alike interface.
My preferred choice for that is [JCommande|http://www.jcommander.org/] because:
* it allows binding CLI arguments to Java properties via Annotations - no more
manual parsing;
* it already supports a complex syntax to implement
[commands|http://jcommander.org/#Complex];
* commands aliases can be expressed via annotations - no more needs to expose
internals;
Patch with proposal is coming
