Class CommandCatalog

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jgit.pgm.CommandCatalog

public class CommandCatalog
extends Object

List of all commands known by jgit's command line tools.

Commands are implementations of TextBuiltin, with an optional Command class annotation to insert additional documentation or override the default command name (which is guessed from the class name).

Commands may be registered by adding them to a services file in the same JAR (or classes directory) as the command implementation. The service file name is META-INF/services/org.eclipse.jgit.pgm.TextBuiltin and it contains one concrete implementation class name per line.

Command registration is identical to Java 6's services, however the catalog uses a lightweight wrapper to delay creating a command instance as much as possible. This avoids initializing the AWT or SWT GUI toolkits even if the command's constructor might require them.
