Paul King commented on GROOVY-5900:
-----------------------------------

We have moved to Commons CLI 1.3 and it has the same behavior as 1.2 in this regard.

> If "--" is an argument to a groovy script, it will not be seen by 
> the groovy program.
> For example:
> $ cat test.groovy
> #!/usr/bin/env groovy
> println "The args are: ${args}"
> $ ./test.groovy foo bar
> The args are: [foo, bar]
> $ ./test.groovy 
> The args are: []
> $ ./test.groovy -
> The args are: [-]
> $ ./test.groovy --
> The args are: []
> $ ./test.groovy ---
> The args are: [---]
> Believe it or not, I actually have need for this! 
> -- is a common field value in our ancient, but heavily used data system
