Jake Farrell commented on THRIFT-3013:
--------------------------------------

+1 to reducing dependencies and keeping dev maintenance and usage as simple as possible. not super excited to see a whole options parser class being brought in from a 3rd party like this, also agree that we should not introduce boost as a dependency for this either. before this is committed we should have some more discussions around this and come to a consensus

> At present, customers could only specify one input file to thrift compiler.  There are maybe two approaches to support multiple input files.
> Approach 1: Improve the option parser in compiler/cpp/src/main.cc.  Maybe we can borrow code from GUN's getopt_long.
> Approach 2: Offer users a maven plugin which can help them to iterate through a list of input files.
