GetOpt is the standard way on linux / unix to do command line parsing and I like it alot. I wasn't aware that Xalan has one but there are a few (non apache) java versions I've used. +1 .

I have few problems with codegen command line options. I would like it to have some getopt (see man page) like syntax. However there are some problems here. First: It is the usual convention that we use -- for long options. Long options are any option that has more than one char. e.g. ss, sd Either we have to come up with single char alternatives to them or have to change the syntax to -- Second: If I use -lc it breaks, I have to use -l c Third: We have getopt like implementation in Java. e.g. Xalan has src/org/apache/xalan/xsltc/cmdline/getopt/GetOpt.java We can use this and improve command line option parsing Fourth: Without something like getopt, we cannot drop the need for -uri in the current syntax (I think there a Jira requesting to drop -uri option) Thoughts please...
