KGetOpts is a java library to parse and validate command lines in a java 5 application. It use java 5 features (like enumerations and generics) to provide a type safe interrogation system. By implementing the CommandLineDescription interface, you can also validate arguments, type them and creating options aliases (like long and short GNU options).
