Arguments

Unlike JavaFX, starting a Glok application is the same as any other JVM based application. Declare a 'main' function, and call launch.

Glok does not parse the command-line arguments for you, but does supply two functions that you can use if you wish : posixArguments, doubleDashArguments Both return Arguments.

You can parse the command line in the main method, or in Application.start, whichever is applicable to your needs. If you application works as a GUI as well as a command-line only program, it may even parse the arguments in both places.

There are a number of competing conventions for parsing command line arguments :

myProgram -fooValue    // Use posixArguments()
myProgram --foo=Value  // GNU's convention - no implementation supplied by Glok
myProgram --foo Value  // Use doubleDashArguments()
