Bumps picocli from 3.6.1 to 4.2.0.

Release notes

Sourced from picocli's releases.

Picocli 4.2.0

Picocli 4.2.0

The picocli community is pleased to announce picocli 4.2.0.

This release adds support for Repeatable Subcommands: when a command is marked as @Command(subcommandsRepeatable = true) it becomes possible to specify that command's subcommands multiple times on the command line.

The picocli-codegen module can now generate AsciiDoc documentation for picocli-based applications. AsciiDoc is a lightweight markup language that can easily can be converted to unix man pages, HTML and PDF with the wonderful asciidoctor tool.

From this release, subcommands are not instantiated until they are matched on the command line. This should improve the startup time for applications with subcommands that do a lot of initialization when they are instantiated.

Autocompletion improvements: from this release the generated bash completions scripts support completing positional parameters, and are implemented without the use of associative arrays (so they should work on MacOS or other systems that use older versions of bash). Additionally there are now automated tests using Expect to verify that the generated completion scripts work as expected.

GraalVM configuration generation improvement: added --factory option to ReflectionConfigGenerator, ResourceConfigGenerator and DynamicProxyConfigGenerator. This makes it possible to generate configurations for command classes without a default no-arg constructor.

From this release it is possible to inject the CommandSpec into a IVersionProvider, making it easier to write version provider implementations that are reusable across multiple commands or even applications.

Similarly, from this release it is possible to inject the parent command object into mixins via a @ParentCommand-annotated field.

This release adds programmatic API to allow the long options column to grow larger than 20 characters in the usage help message via the CommandLine::setLongOptionsMaxWidth and UsageMessageSpec::longOptionsMaxWidth methods.

Finally, it is now possible let the usage help show that @-files are supported by listing a @<filename> entry above the list of positional parameters in the usage help.

This is the sixty-seventh public release. Picocli follows semantic versioning.

New and Noteworthy

Generate AsciiDoc Documentation for Your Application (convertable to unix man pages, HTML and PDF)

This release adds a new class picocli.codegen.docgen.manpage.ManPageGenerator to the picocli-codegen module that generates AsciiDoc documentation for picocli-based applications using the manpage doctype and manpage document structure.

The generated AsciiDoc files can be converted to HTML, PDF and unix man pages with the asciidoctor tool.

The picocli-codegen README has more details.

Repeatable Subcommands

From picocli 4.2, it is possible to specify that a command's subcommands can be specified multiple times by marking it with @Command(subcommandsRepeatable = true).
