However, writing a tool, a developer should just focus on the meat of the problem rather than having to worry about the enabling functionality that allows it to work.  The Spring Framework very much supports this approach to development with its inversion of control (IoC) container and a myriad of other features. To support that approach for command line applications, the spring-cmdline library provides a bridge between the Spring framework and the JOpt Simple command line library. This tutorial will show how to leverage the spring-cmdline library to stand up a very simple command line ap...
