How to run SKOS Play from the command line ?

Starting with version 0.7.0, SKOS Play comes with a command-line application to generate PDF and HTML reports from SKOS files. This allows to easily integrate the generation of such files in a vocabulary publishing process/script.

Instructions

Download the file skos-play-cli-x.y.z-onejar.jar from the download section;
Make sure you have Java >= 6 installed and available;
Open a terminal/prompt where you downloaded the command-line application, and run :

#!bash
java -jar skos-play-cli-x.y.z-onejar.jar

You should see the help message given below in Annex.

Make sure you have a SKOS file available somewhere, and try some of the commands :

Generate an alphabetical index in PDF (adjust the path to the file and the 2-letters language code) :

#!bash
java -jar skos-play-cli-0.7.0-onejar.jar alphabetical -i /path/to/skos/file.rdf -o alphabetical.pdf -l en

Generate a hierarchical index in HTML (adjust the path to the file and the 2-letters language code) :

#!bash
java -jar skos-play-cli-0.7.0-onejar.jar hierarchical -i /path/to/skos/file.rdf -o hierarchy.html -f html -l en

Generate a complete multilingual index in PDF, including alphabetical index, hierarchy, and translation tables (adjust the path to the file and the 2-letters language code) :

#!bash
java -jar skos-play-cli-0.7.0-onejar.jar complete -i /path/to/skos/file.rdf -o complete -l en -m
