org.apache.commons.cli.Parser
All Implemented Interfaces:
CommandLineParser
Direct Known Subclasses:
BasicParser, GnuParser, PosixParser

@Deprecated public abstract class Parser extends Object implements CommandLineParser
Deprecated.
since 1.3, the two-pass parsing with the flatten method is not enough flexible to handle complex cases
Parser creates CommandLines.

    • checkRequiredOptions

      Deprecated.
      Throws a MissingOptionException if all of the required options are not present.
      Throws:
      MissingOptionException - if any of the required Options are not present.
    • flatten

      protected abstract String[] flatten(Options opts, String[] arguments, boolean stopAtNonOption) throws ParseException
      Deprecated.
      Subclasses must implement this method to reduce the arguments that have been passed to the parse method.
      Parameters:
      opts - The Options to parse the arguments by.
      arguments - The arguments that have to be flattened.
      stopAtNonOption - specifies whether to stop flattening when a non option has been encountered
      Returns:
      a String array of the flattened arguments
      Throws:
      ParseException - if there are any problems encountered while parsing the command line tokens.
    • getOptions

      protected Options getOptions()
      Deprecated.
      Gets the options.
      Returns:
      the options.
    • getRequiredOptions

      protected List getRequiredOptions()
      Deprecated.
      Gets the required options.
      Returns:
      the required options.
    • parse

      public CommandLine parse(Options options, String[] arguments) throws ParseException

      Specified by:
      parse in interface CommandLineParser
      Parameters:
      options - the Options
      arguments - the arguments
      Returns:
      the CommandLine

    • parse

      public CommandLine parse(Options options, String[] arguments, boolean stopAtNonOption) throws ParseException
      Deprecated.
      Parses the specified arguments based on the specified Options.

      Returns:
      the CommandLine
      Throws:
      ParseException - if an error occurs when parsing the arguments.
