> {quote}
> This pull request adds an addRequiredOption method, which creates an Option with setRequired(true).
> This is really useful, given the amount of projects I saw doing things like:
> {code}
> Options options = new Options();
> options.addOption( "a", "all", false, "do not hide entries starting with ." );
> options.addOption( "A", "almost-all", false, "do not list implied . and .." );
> options.addOption( "b", "escape", false, "print octal escapes for nongraphic " + "characters" );
> // ... more addOptions like these and then
> Option stuff = new Option( "c", "stuff", true, "do not list implied . and .." );
> stuff.setRequired(true);
> options.addOption( stuff );
> // And many more required options like this one
> {code}
> This pull request proposes an auxiliary method to create a required option, so that these options could just be added with.
> {code}
> options.addRequiredOption( "c", "stuff", true, "do not list implied . and .." );
