Object-oriented design patterns are based on "problems".

What "problems" are you having with handling command-line parameters?

Thanks Ilja.

Hello James,

I have a java application that can be invoked from a command line with a possibility of 8 parameter options.
Each option indicating a different ways application can execute and their combination dicate some more complex execution ways.

I was wandering if I can encapsulate these options in a Command pattern and achieve some extensibility & modularity.

Thanks
Prashant
