java - How to install JCommander and use it in my program? -

i doing 1 project , want use jcommander parsing command line input. don't know how add machine , use it.

here github page jcommander. how can add machine after downloading zip file of code?

i not using ide (using sublime text , command line).

i ran same question. here worked me.

1. download jcommander jar file http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.beust/jcommander/latest , follow link "artifact" on table on page. dowloaded file named jcommander-x.xx.jar.

2. after download, working file @ path myjavafiles/example.java, create directory myjavafiles/lib , put file there.

3. create minifest.txt file

4. so have structure myjavafiles ├── example.java ├── lib │   └── jcommander-x.xx.jar └── manifest.txt

5 can try sample java file example.java

import com.beust.jcommander.jcommander; import com.beust.jcommander.parameter;  class example {   @parameter(names={"--length", "-l"})   int length;   @parameter(names={"--pattern", "-p"})   int pattern;    public static void main(string ... args) {     example ex = new example();     new jcommander();     ex.run();   }    public void run() {     system.out.printf("%d %d", length, pattern);   } } 

6 , putting can go 2 paths.

6.a generate class files using command javac -cp lib/jcommanderxx.xx.jar example.java

then run program class file directly using java -cp lib/*:. example -l 4 --pattern 5

or if want create self standing jar file...

6.b create manifest.txt file , add classpath , lib paths there class-path: lib/jcommander-x.xx.jar main-class: example after can compile using javac -cp lib/jcommander-x.xx.jar example.java

and run java -cp lib/*:. example -l 4 --pattern 5

all of ^^ doable via command line without need introduce gradle or maven builds, if you're looking simple way work @ command line should work other libraries too.
