Picocli: Put Some Java in Your Terminal!

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Demonstrates building a Java CLI with Picocli and Quarkus: shows Quarkus dev hot-reload, generated commands and automatic help, and connects a REST client to the OVH Public Cloud SDK to list projects and Kubernetes clusters. Builds produce an executable JAR and GraalVM native images (demo sizes ~17–57 MB, later ~100 MB after adding AI features) to reduce JVM startup time, with notes on per-OS native build constraints and using Longchain Forge for LLM prompts.
