Henning Schmiedehausen commented on CLI-142:
--------------------------------------------
BTW: If you are looking for an use case, here it is:
I have a dynamic Task executor, that has a fixed set of options (list, info,
run) and loads an additional set of options depending on the service name given
as an argument to list/info/run. So as soon as one of these three has been
encountered, I use processOptions to dynamically query the task in question
about its options and add it to the running parser.
(And I do it over JMX, hence I need serializable classes. ;-) )
