Ah, I see. But then you should still use:
108 new Option(true, "-cp", "-classpath") {
Additionally, why not providing both, the old + new syntax:
108 new Option(true, "-cp", "-classpath", "--classpath") {
People are also still familiar with -version !

I guess I am against inconsistent use of the GNU option pattern. It is
bad enough that we have to have different tools with different
standards, but if we're going to a more GNU like pattern, we should have
a more consistent policy about how we mix these styles. Inconsistently
adopting GNU style is in my opinion worse than not adopting it.
