JewelCli 0.8.2 and above supports query methods with or without the “get” prefix:
public interface MyExample { @Option String getMyOption(); @Option String myOtherOption(); } |
The instance strategy now supports mutators with or without the “set” prefix:
public class MyExample { @Option void setMyOption(String value) {} @Option void myOtherOption(String value) {} } |
A new feature in JewelCli 0.8.1 is the ability to constrain the multiplicity of multivalued options. If the arguments given by the user do not match the constraints an appropriate ArgumentValidationException is thrown.
public interface ListWithMinimumOfOne { @Option(minimum = 1) List<String> getMyOption(); } |
public interface ListWithMaximumOfFour { @Option(maximum = 4) List<String> getMyOption(); } |
public interface ListWithExactlyThree { @Option(exactly = 3) List<String> getMyOption(); } |
As of version 0.8.1 JewelCli supports hidden options. These are options that will not show up in your help message.
interface HiddenOptionNotIncludedInHelp { @Option(hidden = true) boolean getDebug(); } |
Will create an option called “–debug” which you can specify on the command line, but will not be advertised in any help messages.
