The ecosystem in Object Pascal is really a drop in the ocean compared to Java, and often I rolled-my-own solution in Object Pascal projects. Indeed in Java it seems somebody has already written an excellent library to reuse. I've quick discovered this when I wanted to handle command line parameters, processing JSON files or producing PDF output. Brilliant and well supported libraries already existed for all of those. It saved me a huge amount of time. Regards, Graeme
