☕ Head Crashing Informatics 🤘Today I released #jcommander 3.0. 🥳
List of changes: https://github.com/cbeust/jcommander/commits/3.0
Have fun with this Command Line Parser written in Java 17.
Now migrating to Java 21, to be released in Summer/Autumn 2026 with JCommander 4.0.
Since one year I am the release manager of #jcommander. TIL: 17000+ projects are downstreams of our CLI parser for #java. 🤩
🚀 Today we had a synchronous release of #JCommander 1.84 (still on Java 8) and JCommander 2.0 (the same software, but compiled against Java #11). This starts our migration trail towards modern Java. Our next stops will be Java 17 and Java 21. https://jcommander.org ☕
UPDATE: Forgot to mention. Besides refactorings and bug fixes, 1.84 is the same as 1.83.
#JCommander still is compiled against #Java 8 so most people should be able to use it. I wonder if it would be safe to step up to Java 17 to be able to use modern Java? Even current Debian comes with JRE 17! WDYT?
📢 Few minutes ago I have released **#JCommander 1.84**.
High Five 🙏 to all contributors who contributed lots of bug fixes and a few nice detail features. 🚀

Available on Maven Central: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.jcommander/jcommander/1.84
I really love to see people send me pull requests with bug fixes for #jcommander 💓! Unfortunately I need to say that 75% of these PRs are really not good enough to merge them, and that 99% of the authors do not respond so I could work with them on better quality. Dropping a low-hanging fruit as a "fly-by" and then ghosting when the actual work begins is definitively not how open source works, guys! 🙁
Just noticed that an open source project maintained by myself is used by Team #openjdk and Team #google. These are the days that pay back all the blood, sweat and tears. #jcommander ☕ 🚀
@CyberlandConf Hackt mit mir gemeinsam heute Abend an #jcommander im open source camp! 🤩
Und wieder ein paar PRs reviewed und gemerged! 💗 Der Berg wird kleiner und passt schon auf eine einzelne Seite. Damit nähert sich der Release-Termin für #jcommander 1.84! 🤩 🚀 ☕
My challenge for this month: Reviewing one #jcommander PR every day, so our stack will be in a controllable size again. https://github.com/cbeust/jcommander/pulls
