Open Source Java Command Line Tools for Linux

Spring Boot lets you create stand-alone, production-grade, Spring-based applications and services with minimal fuss. It offers a radically faster and highly accessible manner for starting all Spring development. By taking an opinionated view of the Spring platform, it enables you to quickly and easily get to the bits you need. Most Spring Boot applications need minimal Spring configuration. You can use it to create a stand-alone Java application or more traditional WAR deployments. A command line tool is also provided that allows you to run spring scripts.

signal-cli is a command line interface for the Signal messenger. It supports registering, verifying, sending and receiving messages. signal-cli uses a patched libsignal-service-java, extracted from the Signal-Android source code. For registering you need a phone number where you can receive SMS or incoming calls. signal-cli is primarily intended to be used on servers to notify admins of important events. For this use-case, it has a daemon mode with D-BUS interface (man page) and JSON-RPC interface (documentation). For the JSON-RPC interface, there's also a simple example client, written in Rust.

jdbc2csv is a small command-line tool written in JAVA and can be used on all platforms, for which JRE 8 or higher is available. To connect to a specific DBMS the tool uses its JDBC driver. The result of the executed 'select' query is displayed in CSV format ( different standards are supported ). When there is an error the tool stops with exit code 1 and the error message is output on stderr. jdbc2csv is created with a main purpose to be used in shell-scripts. Relatively easy to configurate, this tool is suitable for queries ‘select’, ‘update’ and ‘delete’. I think that is not suitable for a large number of requests, like 'insert'.
