Hi Remko, I checked picoli but it looks close to airlines or the pattern I'm trying to abandon from what I read in the readme and the few classes I looked. I want something command oriented but a command being a method, not a class.
Here is something close to what I have in mind https://github.com/tomitribe/crest. For "big" cli apps you mix it with jline or equivalent but for small ones it is super light and efficient (it even have injection support). Cli provides a strong parsing bit misses a user friendly api so Im just trying to make it converging + Id like to see it hosted @asf to reuse it in other asf projects without more careness.
