Java args as linux args

Question

I want to pass arguments to a java application, but as a linux application style.

The main method in java uses the String array for all parameters. On Linux, most applications accept parameters such as: ls -l --color

-l for list style output

--color is for coloring output

I want to find a code snippet for parsing a String array of a main method, such as a linux application.

I want to do something like this: java -jar myapp.jar -d arg1 --arg2

I can do it, but I don’t have time. So, if someone has the code to do this, better.

You need to manually analyze the parameters or use http://commons.apache.org/cli/

I think you want commons-cli from Apache.
