There is a workaround if you have only one required option: Options options = ...; Option requiredOption = ...; requiredOption.setRequired(false); Option help = ...; help.setRequired(false); OptionGroup requiredOptions = new OptionGroup(); requiredOptions.addOption(required); requiredOptions.addOption(help); requiredOptions.setRequired(true); options.addOptionGroup(requiredOptions); but this doesn't work if you have more than one required option. michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
