args4j
======
args4j is a small Java class library that makes it easy to parse command line options/arguments in your CUI
application. See more info at [http://args4j.kohsuke.org/]
Why should I use it?
--------------------
See [the quick intro](http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kohsuke/archive/2005/05/parsing_command.html)
- It makes command line parsing very easy by using annotations
- Generate usage text very easily
- Generate HTML/XML documentation listing all options
- Full localization support
- Designed to parse javac like options, as opposed to GNU-style (where ls -lR is considered to have two options l and
R).
- Licensed under [the MIT license](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php).
How can I use it?
-----------------
1. Check [the sample](https://github.com/kohsuke/args4j/blob/master/args4j/examples/SampleMain.java). This is how your
code will look like.
2. [Download](http://maven.glassfish.org/content/groups/public/args4j/) the distribution or include the library from
sthe Maven Repository at java.net.
3. Write your code.
