To add more detail:
I'm looking to add two features from my MapCArgs. The first is an
OptionType concept so that the CLI can do automatic object conversion. So
-a could have an OptionType of java.lang.Class.class or
OptionType.CLASS_TYPE and it would automatically convert '-a
org.apache.foo.Foo' to the right class, or print a standard error about it
not being on the classpath.
The second feature is a pattern to build options instead of lots of object
calls. So I could do:
Options opts = PatternOptionBuilder.create("ab:c");
where a and c are boolean flags and b has a string value. The pattern then
supports the types in that there's a whole range of characters that can
be used.
Options opts = PatternOptionBuilder.create("a!b:!d*h%");
where h is a number, a is a required boolean, b is a required string and d
is a collection of files. I'd like to add globbing to 'd' from Jakarta
ORO.
Anyway, this might be considered to be a pile of crap, so let me know if
you think so. Adding them to Commons rather than Sandbox shouldn't be a
heavy issue, I just have to diff a few classes and c+p.
