[jira] [Commented] (CLI-224) OptionBuilder only has static methods, yet many return an OptionBuilder instance

["Duncan Jones (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-224?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13458190#comment-13458190 ] 

Duncan Jones commented on CLI-224:
----------------------------------

How about embedding a Builder class within Option and deprecating the public Option constructors and the OptionBuilder class. Hence we can:

{code}
new Option.Builder("opt", "description").argName("Foo").build();
{code}

without impacting existing code.

> CLI-83 was closed as fixed in 2.0, but it seems that there is no current plan to release CLI 2.0.  Could this fix be rolled into the 1.x line?  I'm attaching a new version of option builder that addresses the issue (named DefaultOptionBuilder to maintain backwards compatability) and a unit test for it.
