AW: [cli] help should display "--long-option=VALUE"

["Papendieck, Thomas" <Th...@opitz-consulting.com>]

Hello Emmanuel,

thank you for your reply!

But I see download links for 1.2 only. 
How do I get binary distribution of 1.3?

bye
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

In your example the value separator should not be specified, it's usage
is not the one you expect.

To change the character displayed between the option name and the value
you have to call HelpFormatter.setLongOptSeparator('='), this method is
new in CLI 1.3.
