> As discussed in the mailing list, replace uses of JCommander with [picocli|https://github.com/remkop/picocli] to get
> * customizable usage help
> * usage help with ANSI colors
> * better support for positional parameters (so we can use positional parameters for mandatory arguments and options for optional arguments)
> * include picocli as source so users can run these applications without requiring an external dependency
> Candidates for usage are:
> *log4j-core*
> * CustomLoggerGenerator
> * ExtendedLoggerGenerator
> * Generate
> * PluginManager
> *log4j-jmx-gui*
> * ClientGui
> *log4j-1.2-api*
