> With the advent of the parsedArgs map returned by AbstractJob.parseArguments is there
> a need to pass Option arguments around anymore? Could AbstractJob maintain
> Options state in a sense?
> For example, from RecommenderJob:
> {code}
>     Option numReccomendationsOpt = AbstractJob.buildOption("numRecommendations", "n", 
>       "Number of recommendations per user", "10");
>     Option usersFileOpt = AbstractJob.buildOption("usersFile", "u",
>       "File of users to recommend for", null);
>     Option booleanDataOpt = AbstractJob.buildOption("booleanData", "b",
>       "Treat input as without pref values", Boolean.FALSE.toString());
>     Map<String,String> parsedArgs = AbstractJob.parseArguments(
>         args, numReccomendationsOpt, usersFileOpt, booleanDataOpt);
>     if (parsedArgs == null) {
>       return -1;
>     }
> {code}
> Could be changed to something like:
> {code}
> buildOption("numRecommendations", "n", "Number of recommendations per user",
> "10");
> buildOption("usersFile", "u", "File of users to recommend for", null);
> buildOption("booleanData", "b", "Treat input as without pref values",
> Boolean.FALSE.toString());
> Map<String,String> parsedArgs = parseArguments(); 
> {code}
