jato

A simple CLI tool to build, create and run java apps, similar to the way something like cargo or zig would work

• to run the app:

jato run

• to specifiy an entry point, if the entry point was in src/Foo.java:

jato run --entry Foo

• to build, it is similar to run, except it builds everything in the src directory, which can be specified in build.json

jato build

• in order to build, the project has to be indexed

jato index

• to create a new project, in a new directory, with the name Foo, and the entry file src/Foo.java

jato new --entry Foo

• init works similarly, but it will use the current directory rather than creating a new directory

jato init

• the default name is App

We can do better

• all commands have shorter version

• jato init is the same as jato i
• jato run is the same as jato r
• jato build is the same as jato b
• jato index is the same as jato x
• --entry is the same as -e
