David Biesack updated CLI-144:
------------------------------

    Description: 
When I add a FileValidator.getExistingFileInstance() to an Argument, I get a 
ClassCastException when I parse args.

Below is a testcase invoke with

   java org.apache.commons.cli2.issues.CLI2Sample -classpath 
commons-cli-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --file-name path-to-an-existing-file

Run it and you get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.io.File cannot be 
cast to java.lang.String

        at org.apache.commons.cli2.issues.CLI2Sample.main(CLI2Sample.java:38)

Comment out the withValidator call and it runs with no exception. 

I also get a similar ClassCastException if I add a 

  .withValidator(NumberValidator.getIntegerInstance())

to another option/argument.
