As I said, I am late to the party, but the only thing better than code as the source of truth is documentation as the source of code. With DocOpt your code to parse Args is: Map<String, Object> result = new Docopt(usageStr).parse(args); That's it. usageStr is a POSIX compliant help text (loaded from a text file or wherever else you might like). Ref guide could just embed the posix help text. There is a whole ecosystem of implementations of this tool in many different languages, so if we have any python tools, or other code in secondary languages other than java they could also use the same system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXhcPJK5cMc
