>                 Key: CLI-252
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-252
>             Project: Commons CLI
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Parser
>    Affects Versions: 1.3
>         Environment: Windows 7, JDK 1.8.0v45
>            Reporter: Simon Harrer
>             Fix For: 1.4

> Options options = new Options();
> options.addOption(Option.builder().longOpt("importToOpen").hasArg().argName("FILE").build());
> options.addOption(Option.builder("i").longOpt("import").hasArg().argName("FILE").build());
> Parsing "--import=FILE" is not possible since 1.3 as it throws a AmbiguousOptionException stating that it cannot decide whether import is import or importToOpen. In 1.2 this is not an issue. 
> The root lies in the new DefaultParser which does a startsWith check internally.
