           Summary: [commons-launcher] Print targest instead of usage
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Sandbox
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Stephan.Strittmatter@gmx.de


It would be more usable for end-user, if commons-launcher would print a list of
targets on missing or wrong targets.
It would be probably the best, if the target-name and (if available) the
description of the targets are printed on console.
Something like:

Error: xxx is not a valid target
Usage: "myApp" [options] [-] target [-D<name>=<value>...] [-] [application
arguments...]
where options include:
  target:
    a                     do something A
    b                     do something B
    c                     do something B
  -help                   Print this usage statement
  -launchfile <file>      The XML file to use (the default is "launcher.xml")
  -executablename <name>  The executable name to print in this usage statement
  -verbose                Print stack traces with error messages


Probably the flags -launchfile, -executablename and -verbose could then also be
hidden for "productive" systems.

BTW, there is no component "launcher" in the component list. So I assigned it to
sandbox.
