# Java CLI project template
Probably the fastest way to bootstrap a **Java** Command Line Application (**CLI**) project!
Click the big green *Use This Template* button and start building your own CLI.
## 🤩 Highlights
- uses [Picocli](https://picocli.info/) for simple and elegant commands implementation
- builds to an **executable jar** and **GraalVM Native Image**
- preconfigured `help` and `version` commands
- generates Bash/ZSH autocompletion scripts
- uses **Maven** as a build tool
- **no frameworks** like Spring, Micronaut or Quarkus
## 🛠 Requirements
- GraalVM distribution of Java (easy to install with https://sdkman.io/)
## 🤔 How to use
Run tests & build an executable JAR:
```
$ ./mvnw package
```
Run tests as native image & build a native executable:
```
$ ./mvnw package -Pnative
```
Run application through Maven
```
$ ./mvnw -Dexec.args=--help
```
