#16 handeling of arguments in commands

[Anonymous]

Yes, that is something we have considered, but it is more of a nicety at this point. Feel free to create a low priority bug for it.

I see lots of calls such as:

Argument workflowobjectArg =
+ abuilder
+ .withName("workflowobject")
+ .withMinimum(1)
+ .withMaximum(1)
+ .create();

Maybe you benefit from creating a helper function/class

Argument SimpleArgument (String name, String shortname, boolean required)

....
if requred {
minimum = 1
maximum = 1
}
Argument arg = null
if (shortname == null) {
arg = abuilder
+ .withName(name)
+ .withMinimum(minimum)
+ .withMaximum(maximum)
+ .create();
else {
arg = abuilder
+ .withName(name)
+ .withMinimum(minimum)
+ .withMaximum(maximum)
.withShortName(shortname)
+ .create();
}
return arg

tahn you can save tons of lines and make the program

boolean REQUIRED = TRUE

Argument workflowobjectArg = SimpleArgument("workflowobject", null, REQUIRED);

....

variations of that may be beneficial.
