Java command parser

A small library parsing the input parameters specified when launching the application.

Specifying default parameters

• Flag:

  --a

• Parameter:

  -g text_as_a_parameter

Parameters in the 'properties' file:

• flagOperator - the string specified in this parameter will be a prefix for flags
• commandOperator - the string specified in this parameter will be a prefix for parameters that require specifying some string after themselves
• checkParametersFromMap - value 'true' to check for matching parameter names
• checkFlagsFromMap - value 'true' to check for matching flag names
• flagMap - a comma separated string containing all the names of the flags supported by the application
• parameterMap - a comma separated string containing all the names of the parameters supported by the application

Example of a custom rule for defining tokens

flagOperator=--
commandOperator=-
checkParametersFromMap=true
checkFlagsFromMap=true
flagMap=a,b,c
parameterMap=abc,abv

Usage example

ArrayList<CommandToken> ttokens = null;
try {
    ttokens = CommandParser.parse(args);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(ttokens);
