Picocli Integration

The PicocliCommandRegistry implements both CommandRegistry (old API) and CommandGroup (new API), so picocli commands work with both the old and new shell infrastructure.

Basic Usage​

How It Works​

PicocliCommandRegistry wraps a picocli CommandLine and:

  1. Exposes each subcommand as a JLine Command
  2. Provides tab completion from picocli's option and subcommand definitions
  3. Generates CommandDescription for TailTipWidgets
  4. Delegates execution to picocli's CommandLine.execute()
