Overview

The framework scans the command line looking for the first argument that can be mapped to a command.

The mapping process involves scanning the classpath and looking for classes implementing the Command interface. The current version does not introspect all classes, but just those whose simple class name match the following pattern: <commandName>Command. All arguments between the wrapper name and the command name are interpreted as global options. All arguments following the command name are interpreted as command options.

wrapper [global-options] command [command-options]
