Class DefaultParser.Builder

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.cli.DefaultParser.Builder
Enclosing class:
DefaultParser
public static final class DefaultParser.Builder extends Object
A nested builder class to create DefaultParser instances using descriptive methods. Example usage: 
 DefaultParser parser = Option.builder()
     .setAllowPartialMatching(false)
     .setStripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes(false)
     .build();
Since:
1.5.0

  • Field Details

    • allowPartialMatching

      private boolean allowPartialMatching
      Flag indicating if partial matching of long options is supported.

    • stripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes

      private Boolean stripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes
      Flag indicating if balanced leading and trailing double quotes should be stripped from option arguments.

  • Constructor Details

    • Builder

      private Builder()
      Constructs a new Builder for a DefaultParser instance. Both allowPartialMatching and stripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes are true by default, mimicking the argument-less constructor.

  • Method Details

    • build

      public DefaultParser build()
      Builds an DefaultParser with the values declared by this DefaultParser.Builder.
      Returns:
      the new DefaultParser
      Since:
      1.5.0

    • setAllowPartialMatching

      public DefaultParser.Builder setAllowPartialMatching(boolean allowPartialMatching)
      Sets if partial matching of long options is supported. By "partial matching" we mean that given the following code: 
       {
     @code
     final Options options = new Options();
     options.addOption(new Option("d", "debug", false, "Turn on debug."));
     options.addOption(new Option("e", "extract", false, "Turn on extract."));
     options.addOption(new Option("o", "option", true, "Turn on option with argument."));
 }
      If "partial matching" is turned on, -de only matches the "debug" option. However, with "partial matching" disabled, -de would enable both debug as well as extract
      Parameters:
      allowPartialMatching - whether to allow partial matching of long options
      Returns:
      this builder, to allow method chaining
      Since:
      1.5.0

    • setStripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes

      public DefaultParser.Builder setStripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes(Boolean stripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes)
      Sets if balanced leading and trailing double quotes should be stripped from option arguments. If "stripping of balanced leading and trailing double quotes from option arguments" is true, the outermost balanced double quotes of option arguments values will be removed. For example, -o '"x"' getValue() will return x, instead of "x" If "stripping of balanced leading and trailing double quotes from option arguments" is null, then quotes will be stripped from option values separated by space from the option, but kept in other cases, which is the historic behaviour.
      Parameters:
      stripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes - whether balanced leading and trailing double quotes should be stripped from option arguments.
      Returns:
      this builder, to allow method chaining
      Since:
      1.5.0
