gradle-kotlin-picocli

Project to experiment PicoCLI using as the build tool, and as the programming language.

build the project

./gradlew jar

using bash completion for Checksum application

in ZSH:

autoload -U +X compinit && compinit
autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit
. ./jchecksum_completion

alias jchecksum='java -cp /home/manu/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/info.picocli/picocli/3.8.2/ad74665a1b8d10b45e7c4bfa6c709dc3b3d9ca78/picocli-3.8.2.jar:build/libs/kotlin-picocli-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:/home/manu/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.jetbrains.kotlin/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8/1.3.11/dd9bff00d6cfca58b6c1fe89be8e0678e35cf35f/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8-1.3.11.jar:/home/manu/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.jetbrains.kotlin/kotlin-stdlib/1.3.11/4cbc5922a54376018307a731162ccaf3ef851a39/kotlin-stdlib-1.3.11.jar CheckSum'

Then: jchecksum <TAB> <TAB>

Sub-commands example

This example also illustrates the usage of color output feature of picocli.

autoload -U +X compinit && compinit
autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit
. ./mykotlinapp_completion
alias mykotlinapp='java -cp /home/manu/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/info.picocli/picocli/3.8.2/ad74665a1b8d10b45e7c4bfa6c709dc3b3d9ca78/picocli-3.8.2.jar:build/libs/kotlin-picocli-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.jetbrains.kotlin/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8/1.3.11/dd9bff00d6cfca58b6c1fe89be8e0678e35cf35f/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8-1.3.11.jar:/home/manu/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.jetbrains.kotlin/kotlin-stdlib/1.3.11/4cbc5922a54376018307a731162ccaf3ef851a39/kotlin-stdlib-1.3.11.jar MyKotlinApp'
