Implementation of command line launchers depends on the type of the batch mode program (Core related or Plugin related).

Both modes provide two ways of implementation:

  • CommandLine and CommandLineAction (for Core and Plugin respectively) are general launchers meant for developers that will not be opening projects or needs full control of argument parsing and opening of projects.
  • ProjectCommandLine and ProjectCommandLineAction (for Core and Plugin respectively) are convenience launchers simplifying work with projects as they provide list of arguments that will be parsed and used to open one or more projects removing great deal of boilerplate code needed.

To create command line launcher:

  1. Core related batch program:
    • For general command line extend com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.CommandLine.

      • Override com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.CommandLine#parseArgs to parse your arguments
      • Override com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.CommandLine#execute to execute your action
    • For project command line action extend com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.ProjectCommandLine
      • Override com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.ProjectCommandLine#parseArguments to parse custom arguments you might be using
      • Override com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.ProjectCommandLine#execute(java.util.Properties, com.nomagic.magicdraw.core.Project) to execute your action. This method will be called for every project opened using available project command line arguments.
  2. Plugin related batch program:
    • For general command line implement com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.CommandLineAction
      • Override com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.CommandLineAction#execute to parse your arguments and do your action
    • For project command line action extend com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.ProjectCommandLineAction

      • Override com.nomagic.magicdraw.commandline.ProjectCommandLineAction#execute(java.lang.String[], java.util.Properties, com.nomagic.magicdraw.core.Project) to execute your action. This method will be called for every project opened using available project command line arguments. Full array of originally passed arguments and parsed project command line arguments specific to the project (default arguments that were parsed from the command line or project-specific properties file) are also passed along with opened project.

Available parameters for project command line launcher:

  • project - Project name or path
  • projectDescriptor - Project descriptor
  • server - Server URL
  • username - Username on server
  • password - Password for the provided username
    • By default provided password should be encrypted.  (3DEXPERIENCE projects accept only plain text passwords)
      • To generate an encrypted password, run any command line launcher with a single argument generateServerPassword=yourPassword or generateServerPassword without a password for the interactive prompt.
    • In order to use the password in plain text form argument encryptPassword needs to be provided and set to true.  (Not needed for 3DEXPERIENCE projects)
  • serverType - If launching a project stored in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, must specify the platform deployment type
    • OnPremise deployment serverType=PLATFORM_ON_PREMISE
    • Cloud deployment serverType=PLATFORM_CLOUD
  • enableSSL - To use SSL
  • encryptPassword - Set to true if the provided password is in plain text (Not needed for 3DEXPERIENCE projects)
  • properties - Path to a properties file containing properties. Multiple properties files can be provided "properties=prop1.properties;prop2.properties"
  • projectPassword - Project password
  • version - Project version
  • branch - Project branch

All parameters for project command line launchers, both in the command line and properties files, should be provided in the format "property1=value1 property2=value2".

To open multiple projects, you must define properties for each project (in case the project is local, path or name is enough) in separate properties files. These files are passed as "properties" arguments e.g. "properties=prop1.properties;prop2.properties".
