Hi, i started to look into the CLI code of zookeeper, and think of making some contributions there.
My ideas: - use commons-cli for option parsing (see: ZOOKEEPER-271<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-271> ) - switch to options instead of args: like -w instead of [watch] or -v version instead of [version] - use a -s option if you want to see Stat of a command - we could also do a "rm [-r]" instead of "delete" and "deleteall" (see: ZOOKEEPER-1326 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1326>) - order the result of a "ls" command - order the list of available commands - introduce own Class for every command, to be more flexible in adding removing commands To you think this could be a valid contribution to the project? What about compatibility? Is it important that all the "current" commands work in the same way? Some changes (like introducing [-v version] or [-w]) will not be backward compatible. Any comments welcome. /Hartmut
