Prerequisites

For each prerequisite, the version with which JArgs has been tested is given in parentheses. Any version equal to or later than this should work.

To build JArgs and run its tests you need on of

  • Apache Ant (1.8.2), by The Apache Software Foundation
  • Apache Maven (3.0.4), by The Apache Software Foundation

Moreover JUnit (4.3.1), by Eric Gamma, is used to run the unit tests, but is not needed to run the library itself.

Installation

To compile, package, and test the code, run either

ant

or

mvn clean package source:jar javadoc:jar jar:test-jar

Two jars are created, one called target/jargs-$VERSION$.jar, which contains the runtime library, and one called target/jargs-$VERSION$-tests.jar, which contains the unit tests and the examples. The Javadoc APIs are created in target/site/apidocs.

To use the library with your own code, simply ensure that target/jargs-$VERSION$.jar is on the CLASSPATH.

Pre-built packages are available via Sonatype's OSS Snapshots maven repository. Ensure you have the oss-public repository enabled in your pom.xml:

<repository>
  <id>sonatype-oss-public</id>
  <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/</url>
  <releases>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
  </releases>
  <snapshots>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
  </snapshots>
</repository>

Then add JArgs to your dependencies list tag:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sanityinc</groupId>
  <artifactId>jargs</artifactId>
  <version>2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Documentation

The main documentation is the detailed worked example in src/examples/java/com/sanityinc/jargs/examples/OptionTest.java, plus the generated API documentation in target/site/apidocs.
