CommandLine

https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/Mediawiki-Japi/issues/49 has (finally) introduced command line support. The CommandLine has two modes:

1. Transfer mode
2. Credential mode

Transfer mode

The main purpose of transfer mode is to push pages from one wiki to another including all files on the page.

Example

 
./run -s wikipedia_org_test -t wikipedia_org_test2 -p PictureTestPage

Credential mode

Credential mode stores your wikis settings and credentials in an ini file in your client system's user's home directory. The password is encrypted which means its not visible. Anyone with access to the ini file can still decrypt it. Credential mode is activated by using the -u option. If you just want to see the usage it's sufficient to supply an invalid username like x

./run -h -u x
  usage: java com.bitplan.mediawiki.japi.user.WikiUser
