Client-side GUI for managing commandline submission

Development of a GUI for managing creattion and submission of commandline tasks, especially

getpapers
quickscrape
norma
ami

Emphasis on use by early adopters, with GUI-based selection of parameters , editing of commandline, management of resources (dictionaries, configuration), launching of jobs, following progress, resubmission.

architecture

The GUI should allow:

chaining of commands, . Example (pseudocode and pseudocommands)

getpapers --project proj --api crossref 
   --filter issn:1234-5678,issn:9987-2341,type:journal-article,from-pub-date:2015-01-31,until-pub-date:2015-12-31
pman --project proj --outUrls urls.txt 

do {
// extract unused URLs
  pman --project proj --inUrls urls.txt --outUrls outUrls.txt 
  quickscrape -o proj -r proj/urls.txt
 } until (outUrls.txt.lines > 0)
 
cmine --project proj --sp.species sp.type binomial genus 
   --w.search(dictionary:file://src/main/resources/org/xmlcml/plugins/disease.xml)
   --w.search(dictionary:http://contentmine.org/dictionaries/phytochem)
   --dataTables

pull-downs / drop-down / ranges of parameters The commands may be assembled from a number of omittable and repeatable items, with varying types. The crossref API is complex and we deliberately limit the scope to /works. Among the selectables are:
- dates for crossref (until-* should be equals or greatr than from-*)
- messages for logging operator comments
- project name (mapped onto new /existing directories on disk).
- service (getpapers/quickscrape/norma/ami)
- defaults
- file sources (e.g. dictionaries) or web sources
- limits and constraints (e.g. times, rates, filesize)
- filetypes (e.g. PDF/HTML/XML)
program options. about 10 each from getpapers and quickscrape and pman. probably fewer from norma. ami has many facets (ca 8), and each has sub-parameters.
submission of jobs. Creation of command-line from gui options. Option to launch or edit. Follow progress of jobs?
