picocli
Picocli is a modern framework for building powerful, user-friendly, GraalVM-enabled command line apps with ease. It supports colors, autocompletion, subcommands, and more. In 1 source file so apps can include as source & avoid adding a dependency. Written in Java, usable from Groovy, Kotlin, Scala, etc.
Finally, I added Snyk which seems to be essential with the current state of vulnerabilities. Since it’s free for open source projects we should probably try to get it on all our repos. Integration was trivial, which is great. Unfortunately currently the badge seems to be suffering from this issue.
I created a base project using the Spring Initializr tool, which generates some boilerplate configuration and source code. I avoided many of the standard spring integration options you normally add to a Spring applications such as:
For the CLI, I used PicoCLI. I meant to write about it ages ago and was bogged down with other things. I researched dozens of CLI tools for Java when we started Lightrun. They were all just awful. I like an opinionated approach as much as the next person, but they literally didn't let me define the syntax of the CLI code.
