picocli VS zgen

"and there are simply no good command line input parsing libraries for Java." Looks like author missed the most obvious and popular OSS one: https://picocli.info/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

The command line example gave me the "ick". It is usually preferrable to parse the command line arguments into one instance of a custom "command class", rather than into a list of things. Like jcommander, picocli or jbock do. Source: about 1 year ago

Complex argument parsing needs to be auto-generated by libraries like picocli. Even if you need something custom, it'd be quicker to write an Annotation processor from scratch than editing that file. Source: over 1 year ago

Using picocli to handle your command line options gives you the best chance to automatically generate an ArgumentCompleter script in the future, but won't help you today (other than possibly making your command line handling more standardized & easier). Source: over 1 year ago

Then we released a JBang! And picocli based cli that would be, on any OS running a jvm runtime :. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

If you liked legacy zgen, zgenom picks up where it left off and is simple but featureful. Source: about 1 year ago

For those that aren't aware, ZGEN (https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen) is the best of both worlds. Pick and choose from every plugin system out there. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
