["Brian Egge (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-122?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brian Egge updated CLI-122:
---------------------------

    Attachment: CLI122.patch

In CLI 1.x you don't have variable arguments and default values.  I.e., an argument which takes 2-4 values, so CLI 1.x can safely say something is or isn't an option based on it's context, and not based on if it starts with a dash.

In CLI 2.x, you do have variable args, and the parser uses a 'looksLikeAnOption' function to determine if the argument is the next one in a list, or is the start of the next option.  

However, there is still a need to be able to parse arguments which starts with a dash.  The attached patch allows these to forms to work:

--argument "-foo"
--argument=-foo

However, this form will still not:
--argument -foo
