[jira] [Comment Edited] (GROOVY-8567) Migrate Groovyc to picocli

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8567?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16480015#comment-16480015 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for merging the PR!

About groovyc, I saw that on the master branch, there is an [additional commit|https://github.com/apache/groovy/commit/f03b04a77db26a9555dac46de7bd4dd4728d7fa9] that preserves methods {{generateCompilerConfigurationFromOptions (org.apache.commons.cli.CommandLine cli)}}, {{generateFileNamesFromOptions (org.apache.commons.cli.CommandLine cli)}} and {{createCompilationOptions() : Options}} to preserve binary compatibility. 
However, I cannot see this additional commit on the 2.5.x and 2.6.x branches. Is that intentional, or should it be the other way around?

About -v and -V, it is probably best to be consistent across all tools in the Groovy toolchain.
Is now a good time to change grape to also use uppercase {{\-V}} for {{\--version}}? I believe this is the [unix convention|http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ch10s05.html]. (Also it makes the code shorter because we can use {{mixinStandardHelpOptions=true}} instead of explicitly declaring a boolean field for the version, but that is an implementation detail...) If you don't like this idea we can change the {{groovyc}} command line handling to use {{\-V}} for version.
