Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-3420:
-------------------------------------------
If we remove all traces of it in the documentation and the usage message, it'll
eventually end up as dead code that no one understands the purpose of anyway.
If we think that users should use another mechanism, and that the -ca option is
barely used (probably true since it's not documented), would it be a cleaner
solution to remove both the code and the usage message and add a release note
telling users what they should do instead?
> The -ca option should be removed from ij and from the ij command usage line

> Key: DERBY-3420
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3420
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tools
> Affects Versions: 10.3.2.1
> Reporter: Kim Haase
> Assignee: Bryan Pendleton
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: removeObsoleteArg.diff
>
>
> The ij tool gives the following help output:
> Usage: java org.apache.derby.tools.ij [-p propertyfile] [-ca
> connectionAttributePropertyFile] [inputfile]
> The -ca connectionAttributePropertyFile option is no longer needed and is
> deprecated, so it is not documented in the Tools Guide. The option should
> also be removed from the usage statement.
