>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: groovy-jdk
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.12

> When a multi-argument option is passed as the last option, any arguments after that get absorbed into it.  As you can see from the code and examples below, inserting a no-argument option in between the -m and the parsed arguments causes the problem to go away.
> {code:java}
> import org.apache.commons.cli.Option
> CliBuilder cli = new CliBuilder(usage:"example of using multi-arg value")
> cli.with {
>     m(longOpt:'multiple-opts', args: Option.UNLIMITED_VALUES, valueSeparator: ';',
>         "enter multiple values, separated by ';' (usage: -mval1;val2)")
>     a(longOpt:'simple-arg', "simple argument")
>     h("help")
> }
> // cli.stopAtNonOption can be true or false, same result
> def opts = cli.parse(args)
> if (opts.m)
>     opts.ms.eachWithIndex { l,i -> println "$i: $l" }
> println "arguments: ${opts.arguments()}"
> {code}
> Usage:
> {code:java}
> > groovy clibuilderError.groovy "-mhello;goodbye" arg1 arg2 arg3
> 0: hello
> 1: goodbye
> 2: arg1
> 3: --
> 4: arg2
> 5: arg3
> arguments: []
> > groovy clibuilderError.groovy "-mhello;goodbye" -a arg1 arg2 arg3
> 0: hello
> 1: goodbye
> arguments: [arg1, arg2, arg3]
> {code}
