PlasticMetal.MobileSuit is a powerful tool to quickly build a .NET Core ConsoleApp.
Now, its light weight version is migrated to Java platform, which is called JMobileSuitLite.

Create your project

So firstly, you need to create a new Application in your IDE.

Then, you should add PlasticMetal.JMobileSuitLite to your project.

Write the MobileSuit Client class

Create the class

Add a Class to your project, named Client . It inherits class PlasticMetal.JMobileSuitLite.ObjectModel.SuitClient .

Add custom attributes to the class:

PlasticMetal.JMobileSuitLite.ObjectModel.Annotions..SuitInfo with argument “Demo”

Add the first command

Add a method called Hello to class Client . It has no parameters and return value.

The content of method can be anything you like. You can use IO().WriteLine and IO().ReadLine instead of System.out.println and Scanner::nextLine.

Add information and Alias for the first command

Add custom attributes to the method:

1. PlasticMetal.JMobileSuitLite.ObjectModel.Annotions..SuitInfo with argument “hello command.”
2. PlasticMetal.JMobileSuitLite.ObjectModel.Annotions..SuitAlias with argument “H”

Add another command

Add a method called Bye to class Client. It has a string parameter, named name. It returns a string.

The content of method can be anything you like. You can use IO().WriteLine and IO().ReadLine instead of System.out.println and Scanner::nextLine.

Add a main method for your application

Add main method

1

3

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{

}

to the class, then add the following code to main:

1

new SuitHost(Client.class).Run();

Check your code for Client.java

It may looks like:

import PlasticMetal.JMobileSuitLite.ObjectModel.Annotions.SuitAlias;
import PlasticMetal.JMobileSuitLite.ObjectModel.Annotions.SuitInfo;
import PlasticMetal.JMobileSuitLite.ObjectModel.SuitClient;
import PlasticMetal.JMobileSuitLite.SuitHost;

@SuitInfo("Demo")
public class Client extends SuitClient
{
    @SuitAlias("H")
    @SuitInfo("hello command")
    public void Hello(){
        IO().WriteLine("Hello! MobileSuit!");
    }

    public String Bye(String name)
    {
        IO().WriteLine("Bye!"+name);
        return "bye";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        new SuitHost(Client.class).Run();
    }
}

Run and test your Application

Build and run your application.

In the console, you may input:

1. Help to see help for MobileSuit
2. List or ls to see all available commands for current client.
3. Hello or h to run Client.Hello()
4. Bye name to run Client.Bye( name )
5. Exit to exit the progress

The process of build such a app is so easy that you just need one class to write.
