Richard updated CLI-298:
------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.5)

> -----------------------------------------

> Project: Commons CLI
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CLI-2.x
> Affects Versions: 2.0, Nightly Builds
> Reporter: Richard
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: newbie, pull-request-available, ready-to-commit
> Fix For: 2.1

> Remaining Estimate: 336h
>
> 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. Also add I18N
> since this will be driven via the user experience for exception messages.
>
> 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.
