MissingArgumentException not being caught.

           Summary: MissingArgumentException not being caught.
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.0 Beta 2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW

Reported on behalf of Pete Maddocks.

We ran across a bug in the case where a missing required argument for an
option was only caught if the option was at the end of command line.

So for the command:
-----------------
SYNOPSIS
ndmp [ options ]
-o, --old-password oldPassword
Use this option to specify the old password. 

-n, --new-password newPassword
Use this option to specify the new password
-----------------
1. If the user types:
   ndmp -o oldpassword -n 
   Then the Parser class correctly throws a MissingArgumentException.

2. However, if the user types:
   ndmp -o -n newpassword
   Then the Parser class does not throw the Missing ArgumentException.
