[jira] Commented: (CLI-179) Needs "standalone" options that can be used even if required options are not set

["Joël Royer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-179?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12715429#action_12715429 ] 

Joël Royer commented on CLI-179:
--------------------------------

I suggest adding a method isStandalone (true/false) to the OptionBuilder class.
The parser would authorize the use of standalone options without required options.

> it is currently impossible to have options like "help" or "version" if we also have some required options. The parsing results in an error "Missing parameters".
> But for an "help" or "version" option, it would be usefull to display the wanted information, even if required options are not set.
