Class PropertyInspector

java.lang.Object
com.illumon.util.tools.PropertyInspector
public class PropertyInspector
extends Object
Processes a hierarchical set of property files and outputs a list of properties and values. Minimum use is with just the starting property file specified (-pf). This will return a list of all properties and their effective values (last setting of a value takes precedence). -pn allows specification of a property name or regex to search for. All instances that match will be reported, along with their value, file, and line number. -fm allows a choice of duplicate detection. -pn is ignored when -fm is either ALL_DUPLICATES or FILE_DUPLICATES. ALL_DUPLICATES shows all properties that are defined more than once across the hierarchy of property files. FILE_DUPLICATES shows all properties that are defined more than once within a single property file. -pf can specify a fully-qualified property file to start with (path + name), or just a name to load from the classpath. If a fully-qualified file is used, any included files must be in the same path, or available from the classpath. If -cs is included in the arguments, the results will be formatted as CSV, for easier importing into other tools. -in can specify a file containing a list of property names or regular expressions that, in COMPARE mode, will be checked against the input properties file to make sure they are present. Lines beginning with # are comments and ignored, as are blank lines. Lines beginning with / are treated as regular expressions. All other lines are considered to be exact matches. -ex is the same as -in, but in COMPARE mode the contents of the -ex file will be checked to make sure they are NOT present in the input properties file.
