ExactLength Annotation

@ExactLength

The @ExactLength annotation may be applied to fields annotated with @Option and @Arguments to limit the length of the value provided to a specific length e.g.

@Option(name = "--reference", arity = 1)
@MaxLength(length = 10)
private String reference;

Restricts the --reference option to values of exactly 10 characters.

If you want to restrict the minimum/maximum length of a value then use the @MinLength or @MaxLength annotations.
