-------------------------------

             Summary: Configure Options from usage statement
                 Key: CLI-256
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-256
             Project: Commons CLI
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Options definition
            Reporter: Ralph LeVan
            Priority: Minor


I wrote a layer on top of JSAP to configure its parser from a simple usage statement.  I tried to push that code back to the developer, with no success.  I'd like to see that code get into production somewhere so I can stop using my private fork.

For JSAP, configuration turned into this:
        SimplerJSAP jsap = new SimplerJSAP("dbname [--taglist<String>] [--alternativeTagpaths<File>]");
        JSAPResult config = jsap.parse(args);

This is much simpler and much much more readable than the JSAP code and it looks to me like the CLI version is just as complicated.
