Apache Commons CLI provides a simple API for presenting, processing, and validating a Command Line Interface.

Documentation

More information can be found on the Apache Commons CLI homepage. The Javadoc can be browsed. Questions related to the usage of Apache Commons CLI should be posted to the user mailing list.

Building

Building requires a Java JDK and Apache Maven. The required Java version is found in the pom.xml as the maven.compiler.source property.

From a command shell, run mvn without arguments to invoke the default Maven goal to run all tests and checks.
