Great, thanks for the positive feedback!

For whoever is interested, picocli autocomplete
 is now in public
beta. Spread the word! :-) Feedback welcome!

[Matt Sicker]

JCommander is in use mainly for the log4j-server stuff.

Re: picocli in log4j

[Chandra]

+1 for picocli, I looked into it some time ago and looked pretty good.
In-fact, I wanted to use it for my own project for `JvmTop`.

btw, where are we using `Jcommander` in log4j2?


thanks,
Chandra

Re: picocli in log4j

[Matt Sicker]

I have no objections. I do like your library, though I haven't used it for
any of my own projects yet (since most of what I've been working on for the
past several months have all been Mesos-managed containers, so startup has
been mostly delegated to environment variables for configuration).

The autocomplete feature sounds pretty sweet.

picocli in log4j

[Remko Popma]

Thanks all for your positive feedback on picocli  back
in April.
There have been multiple releases since then and I am confident about its
stability now.

Any objections if I replace our current usage of JCommander
 with picocli?

Main benefits:

   - Customizable usage help
   - Usage help with ANSI colors
   
   - Better support for positional parameters
   - POSIX short options (like -xvrf)
   - Can be included as source to reduce external dependencies
   - Coming soon: autocomplete
