= Default Value

ifndef::snippets[:snippets: ../../test/java/org/springframework/shell/docs]

Having a default value for an option is somewhat related to
xref:using-shell-options-optional.adoc[Optional Value], as there are cases where you
may want to know if the user defined an option and change behavior
based on a default value:

[source,java,indent=0,role="primary"]
.Programmatic

include::{snippets}/OptionSnippets.java[tag=option-default-programmatic]

[source,java,indent=0,role="secondary"]
.Annotation

[source,java,indent=0,role="secondary"]
.Legacy Annotation
