Converts args4j/JCommander descriptor classes to markdown or manpages

args2all's Issues

Convert argslibrary1 to argslibrary2

Create a converter from one args library to another (i.e. args4j to picocli).
Think of the situation you want to have a single args library in your enterprise used and want to convert misc projects to this library.

The task "just" requires to write output templates for each args library.

Create i18n / translation templates

Use the existing CLI options to create templates for other languages, following the idea of Java resource bundles.

Bash Completion generator

Create Bash completion files after reading the Java CLI annotations.

Picocli cooperation

I like the args2all initiative very much! Don't hesitate to let me know if there is any way picocli can be improved to make life easier for args2all.

For example, you might be interested in using some of the classes in the picocli Help API to do text layout or use ANSI colours. If you want these to be more generic I’m open for suggestions.

If args2all is ready to open to the public I can link to it from the picocli project landing page (the readme).

That’s just some examples, other ideas welcome.

Standards validation for command line options

Validate the command line options against certain rules.
Examples:

• "-h" is usually equivalent to "-help" or "--help" and should have the help flag set
• "-v" is verbose
• no wild mixing of "-foo" and "--foo"
