That would be great. I need to try the experiment of converting Groovy and Gant from CLI-1.0 to CLI-2.0 -- it only requires changes in a few places but I haven't had time over the last 12 weeks to tackle this.

Hopefully the jobs are both more fun and better paid :-) Groovy and Gant may well soon shrug off the shackles of Java 1.4 and leap into the new annotated world of Java 5.0 :-) This may mean that annotation-based systems rather than builder-based systems might come into play. Having said this, a builder-based approach actually fits better with the total Groovy infrastructure, e.g. CliBuilder -- which is a thin adapter to Commons-CLI. My feeling is therefore that it would be better to get Groovy working with a post CLI-1.0, working CLI before considering any other options. If CLI-2.x is the way forward that would be good, even though it needs more work to port the Groovy code base.
