Hi,
@matthieu : we can make commands case insensitive.
@aduprat : completion seems hard to achive but maybe we can think of
supporting partial unambiguous commands... What do you think of it ?
We can add a ./james-cli.sh help command
What do you want by "better result presentation"?
I've not investigate a lot on this subject, may be you can check:
http://jcommander.org/
http://www.crashub.org/
I've already some experience on CRaSH, and may help you on my spare time.
I'll open the jira.

Hello,
It seems to be a good idea.
May be it's also the time to investigate on a tool providing us
additional features to the cli:
- completion
- help
- better result presentation
- ...

Hi,
Today I want to raise an issue :
- It is nearly impossible to read James CLI help message
- James CLI command line naming is obscure, too long and too monolitic
Having a lot of commands does not seem bad to me, but they should be
organised better than just grouped all together.
I think something like :
james-cli.sh DOMAIN ADD toto.org
james-cli.sh DOMAIN LIST
james-cli.sh DOMAIN REMOVE
will be better than
james-cli.sh ADDDOMAIN toto.org
james-cli.sh LISTDOMAIN
james-cli.sh REMOVEDOMAIN toto.org
It will get even better with "cryptic" commands like :
james-cli.sh ADDADDRESSMAPPING user domain fromAddress
would be :
james-cli.sh MAPPING ADDRESS ADD user domain fromAddress
The global syntax I propose is :
james-cli.sh FUNCTIONNALITY [EXTRA SPECS...] COMMAND [ARGS... ]
On the help display it might help as :
- Related commands will be grouped together, CLRF isolated from other
groups
- We can add a help message to explain the functionality
- As they are space separated, command names will get easier to read
If peoples thinks this might help, I am motivated to :
- 1/ open a jira issue
- 2/ code this up (this seems not that complicated)
And of course, if you have feedbacks, you will be very welcome.
Benoit
