Improved facade for command-line execution #23

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Command-line execution implemented as part of issue #12 works but it's not very 
intuitive and it's fairly cumbersome to use. Usability could be improved by 
providing a better named class for static main (over 
hu.skzs.multiproperties.base.HandlerExecutor), such as MultiProperties.java in 
an unnamed package. Also mentioned in #12, I would assume it's pretty typical 
that you'd like to generate all of the localized property files on a single 
execution. You could just provide an output directory (instead of columnConfig) 
and automatically find all the locales specific in the .multiproperties file.

The default package is a great idea, but the renaming from HandlerExecutor to 
MultiProperties is a little bit confusing because the class name should 
represent the purpose of the class. On the other hand, it is just a small 
command line tool, it would not be a big mistake.

Regarding the output directory and the single execution for each column. The 
solution should let the user overwrite the "columnConfig", because usually he 
needs to use different path (comparing to the Eclipse workspace paths), or 
different option flags (in case of Properties handler). So I mean just the 
outputDir parameter cannot be enough. I could imagine a "columnConfigPattern" 
argument instead of "columnConfig", where for example the user could use the 
column name as a variable. Like:
 ... -columnConfig "C:\temp\file_${columnName}.properties|true|true|true|false" ...
A kind of Ant style variable format. 

Does the above detailed solutions satisfy your requirement?

Comment: you can also take a look into the

erExecutor wiki page. It is just recently created.

Thanks, didn't mean to suggest renaming HandlerExecutor but perhaps just 
providing a an additional entry point for generating multiple property files at 
once. Sure, if you don't mind supporting output file format that would 
certainly satisfy my requirement. The wiki page looks great!

A new "columnConfigPattern" argument has been introduced, where the 
${columnName} marker can be used for differentiating the output generation 
column by column.

The related wiki is already updated.
