Task 2.3: Migrate Commons CLI

Task Description

Replace dot.commons-cli with standard commons-cli:commons-cli dependency

Status: 🔄 PENDING

Scope

• Update import statements from repackaged Commons CLI to standard
• Remove dot.commons-cli from POM files
• Add standard commons-cli:commons-cli dependency to BOM
• Test command-line interface functionality

Implementation Plan

1. Dependency Update:

   • Remove com.dotcms.lib:dot.commons-cli from BOM and dotCMS POM
   • Add standard commons-cli:commons-cli to BOM with appropriate version
   • Update dotCMS POM to use standard dependency

2. Code Migration:

   • Find all imports: com.dotcms.repackage.org.apache.commons.cli.*
   • Replace with: org.apache.commons.cli.*
   • Limited usage expected based on analysis

3. Testing:

   • Test command-line interface functionality
   • Verify CLI parsing works correctly
   • Run related unit tests

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] All Commons CLI imports updated from repackaged to standard
• [ ] Standard Commons CLI dependency added to BOM
• [ ] Repackaged Commons CLI dependency removed from POM files
• [ ] All CLI functionality tests pass
• [ ] No functional regressions in command-line processing
• [ ] Integration tests pass

Technical Notes

• Commons CLI is used for command-line argument parsing
• Usage is limited in the codebase
• Verify compatibility with existing CLI interfaces

Start by locating the BOM and dotCMS POM entries for com.dotcms.lib:dot.commons-cli, then search the codebase for com.dotcms.repackage.org.apache.commons.cli imports. Update the dependency and imports as described, and run the related unit and integration tests to verify CLI parsing and command-line processing.
