Ryan Skraba commented on AVRO-2649:
-----------------------------------
Please do (with my thanks) -- I've no objection to args.contains, and it looks
like there's already joptsimple *and* commons-cli in the avro-tools as
dependencies, so it is up to you!
> [Java] Argument order enforced in avro-tools cli.
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-2649
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2649
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.9.1
> Reporter: Ryan Skraba
> Priority: Minor
>
> The following command line works:
> {code}
> $ avrotool compile -string -bigDecimal schema
> ./lang/java/tools/src/test/compiler/input/fieldtest.avsc /tmp/output
> Input files to compile:
> ./lang/java/tools/src/test/compiler/input/fieldtest.avsc
> {code}
> Switching the first two flags causes an error:
> {code}
> $ avrotool compile -bigDecimal -string schema
> ./lang/java/tools/src/test/compiler/input/fieldtest.avsc /tmp/output
> Expected "schema" or "protocol".
> {code}
> There's really no need to enforce a command line option order, especially for
> flags, and it's not user friendly. Most CLI tools don't. There's several
> good command line parsers to help.
