[jira] [Commented] (CLI-238) Help formatter does not display correct message for options which take single or multilple values

["Thomas Neidhart (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-238?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13694604#comment-13694604 ] 

Thomas Neidhart commented on CLI-238:
-------------------------------------

The missing <arg> for the first option is already fixed (see CLI-186), the output with the latest version in trunk is as follows:

{noformat}
  -d,--destination=<arg>  Destination output directory
  -js,--javasource=<arg>  Java Source File Location
{noformat}
