At the time I wrote this one, I was not aware of existing tools like the ones 
below:

    http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/cli/
    https://args4j.dev.java.net/

I don't know which one is best - I did no investigation yet. If the Geotools 
PMC selects a command 
processor to be choosen as the "standard" one for Geotools, I can use it in 
replacement of "Arguments".

This class lives in the org.geotools.resources package. It is used internally 
in some corner of the 
API (I don't remember which ones), and users should not really be aware of this 
one (it is supposed 
to be hiden from javadoc).

Back somewhere around 2002, we were looking about what to do about classes that 
should have been 
package-privated, but can't because used in more than one package. We agreed in 
some IRC about 
selecting "org.geotools.resources" as a package with a special status in 
Geotools. Everything in 
"org.geotools.resources" (and sub-packages) should be considered as if they 
were package-private 
classes, and actually would have really been package-private if those classes 
were used by a single 
package.

Compared to Sun java implementation, "org.geotools.resources" is equivalent to 
"sun.*" packages:
