Richard created CLI-298:
---------------------------
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.
