[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-2602) Enhance command line tools

Maruan Sahyoun created PDFBOX-2602:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Enhance command line tools
                 Key: PDFBOX-2602
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2602
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.8.8, 2.0.0
            Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.1.0


The command line tools shall be enhanced to have the same behavior across all tools.

>From the discussion on the dev mailing list
- add an -h option to print the usage
- print the usage to System.err and use an exit code of 1 if there was an invalid command line parameter
- print messages on exceptions to System.err
- rethrow the exception so java can handle it if it will terminate afterwards anyway
- use an exit code of 1if rethrowing doesn't make sense
