Yeah you can just use longOption names. If my memory serves me correctly,
you can just call withLongName("name").create() and that should do the
trick.
BTW, if you prefix the subject line in you mail with the project e.g. [cli]
it will be dealt with quicker.

Hi,
I've just started using the org.apache.commons.cli suite. I am trying to
port over an old
command line perl program which has about 49 different command line switches
and some of those
switches either can take arguments from a set list or user specific values
(Yes very ugly I know).
So I thought this suite would be perfect to manage it all. I am unable to
change the interface as
many scripts have already been written, so reducing the number of switches
is not an option.
My question is there a way I can create multiple Options with no short
option name, as I will
run out of letters given the large number of switches, and just use the long
option name.
I hope you can help, thanks
Jamie
