Hi Russell,
I have not tried picocli myself, but strongly typed parameters + good
looking annotations API + actively maintained + Groovy enthusiast
offering to integrate it into Groovy sounds good to me... ||-)
Does anyone knows of any shortcomings of picocli or miss some CLI
features in the library ? Or are there any other (long running) plans to
replace the existing CliBuilder implementation ?
Cheers,
mg

Personally I am all for a new CLI system for Groovy. There are though
many different CLI frameworks already out there, many have previously
been discussed in various threads on this list. Indeed I think there
has been some work, but none that got absorbed into the standard Groovy
distribution.
So the question for me is not how to replace commons-cli just what to
do. So the question for me is what distinguishes picocli from all the
other options.
