Java command-line application that finds the writer/singer/album of any Beatles song using an embedded SQLite database
whichbeatle [options] [song name]
Options:
-h, --help: display usage instructions
-w, --wrote: display who wrote the song
-s, --sang: display who sang the song
-a, --album: display the albums on which the song appeared
Examples:
whichbeatle --wrote something will display who wrote "Something"
whichbeatle -ws mean mr mustard will display who wrote and who sang "Mean Mr. Mustard"
The program consists of one main Java class and a SQLite database file that contains a table with the names, composers, singers, and album appearances of every song in the Beatles' discography. The program reads in user input, parsing any command-line flags, then executes a query on the embedded database.
The easiest way to run this program is by downloading whichbeatle.jar and then running it with java -jar whichbeatle.jar, followed by any command line arguments.
I want to get this packaged better for all platforms. For macOS/Linux, this just means using a standalone executable. For Windows, this means making an exe and maybe impementing windows-style command flags (e.g. /wrote, /sang).
