The new class DefaultParser does not use generics to define the options List, that is suspicious. Looking closer, the list can hold a mix of OptionGroup and String instances. Really? Looking at Options I see the list defined as List<Object>. This avoids compiler warnings but is nasty. This is probably what we have inherited from this very old code base. We should at least perpetuate this to DefaultParser's List as a List<Object>.
I switched a couple of years ago to using annotation based CLI processing with JCommander. I'd like to come back to Commons for CLI, but not I do not see that happening until a very different CLI2 emerges. This is not the thread for discussing a CLI2 of course... ;-) Gary On Sun, May 3, 2015 at 8:18 AM, Benedikt Ritter <brit...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi, > > We have fixed quite a few bugs and added some significant enhancements > since CLI 1.2 was released and the Groovy Project is asking for a new > release, so I would like to release CLI 1.3.
