There are times when add in -h/--help and want to allow people to just go ahead and call the app with that option. The rub is, of course, if there are any required options, in addition to the usage message they also get a superfluous "Missing required" note as well...
This is, imo at least, ugly. If the consensus is that this would be something nice to fix in the 1.x tree (not sure if still an issue in 2.x), I'll open a JIRA and start work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
