The only reason I included it is for completeness with tar which the

I think it would be surprising to have two GNU-style long options so I
think we should pick one. "--dir" seems okay to me and is consistent
with the other the other JDK tools that extract to a directory (although
those tools might not be well known). If you prefer "--directory" then I
think we'll should add it to the other tools and hide "--dir" from the
usage output.
