+This class is used to test the CLI commands of the Processing IDE.
+It mostly exists to quickly run CLI commands without having to specify run configurations
+or to manually run it on the command line.
+
+In IntelliJ IDEA, it should display runnable arrows next to each test method.
+Use this to quickly test the CLI commands.
+The output will be displayed in the console after `Running CLI with arguments: ...`.
+When developing on the CLI commands, feel free to add more test methods here.
