The CLI Core makes it easy to create a command line application that already works, right out of the box.

• User friendly command line interface.
• Commands autocomplition.
• Supports external plugins.
• Command prompts DSL

CLI lib coordinates com.haulmont.cli.core:cli-core:1.0.0

Your application should have implementation for MainCliPlugin interface. And provide plugin implementation in module-info.java.

For example:

provides MainCliPlugin with YourPlugin;

To customize your application you can override MainCliPlugin methods:

• welcome() - prints welcome message for interactive plugin mode
• prompt - cli prompt for interactive mode
• priority - main CLI plugin priority, plugin with highest priority will be used as main
• pluginsDir - plugins folder path
