[Announce] New Java client for posting directly to the steem blockchain.

Wanting a simplified way to post git commit log summaries to my blog, I created a basic Java CLI client for this purpose.

The code

https://github.com/muksihs/SteemCliPoster

Use "gradle build fatjar" to build the client.

Basic usage

java -jar build/libs/SteemCliPoster.jar --auth-file ~/.steem/far-horizons.properties --file test-post.txt

Authority File format

Where the auth-file is formatted as:

accountName=your account name
postingKey=your private posting key

Message file format

And the message file to be posted is formatted as:

title: Test post from the "SteemCliPoster" Java App
tags: test steemdev java steemj
format: markdown

This is a test post from the "SteemCliPoster" Java App.

WARNING

If you are posting "pre-escaped content", be sure to add "--no-escape" to the cli options!
