picocli Manifest Version Provider

Manifest provider for picocli which takes the info from the packaged manifest.

To use build your own provider by extending AbstractManifestVersionProvider:

public class MyVersionProvider extends AbstractManifestVersionProvider {

    public MyVersionProvider() {
        super("Project implementation name");
    }

}

All it requires is the project implementation name as it appears on the manifest. Usually this is the Maven project name.

Then it can be added to any picocli command:

@Command(description = "Menu command" versionProvider = ManifestVersionProvider.class)
public class Menu

Documentation

The documentation site is actually a Maven site, and its sources are included in the project. If required it can be generated by using the following Maven command:

mvn verify site

The verify phase is required, otherwise some of the reports won't be generated.
