In C# you cannot reference a static method, field, or property
accessor from an instance reference (static or otherwise), hence the
following code is illegal:
Option timeLimit = OptionBuilder
.withLongOpt("limit")
.hasArg()
.withValueSeparator()
.withDescription("Set time limit for execution, in mintues")
.create("l");
So, in order to maintain elegance I have come up with a solution. I
have changed OptionBuilder's static methods to instance methods, but
created a static property accessor called 'Factory'. Factory is
defined as such:
/// <summary>
/// Returns a static instance of OptionBuilder.
/// </summary>
public static OptionBuilder Factory
{
get { return instance; }
}
So the original code now works with one small variation:
Option timeLimit = OptionBuilder.Factory
.withLongOpt("limit")
.hasArg()
.withValueSeparator()
.withDescription("Set time limit for execution, in mintues")
.create("l");
Instead of accessing static methods via a static instance, the code is
now accessing instance methods via a static reference. This should
avoid performance degradation and maintain the elegant way you have
documented to build options via OptionBuilder, with the small addition
of 'Factory'.
Thoughts?

Damn Java and its allowing you to access a static method from an
instance reference!!! The with... methods in OptionBuilder have lost
their elegance...
