[Dioktos (JIRA)]

Negative numbers mistaken for options
-------------------------------------

                 Key: CLI-150
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-150
             Project: Commons CLI
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI-2.x
    Affects Versions: 2.0
         Environment: Sun JDK 1.6, Ubuntu 7.04
            Reporter: Dioktos


If an option has a negative numerical argument, the parser mistakes it for 
another option and throws an error. For example, consider:

{{Argument numArg = 
aBuilder.withValidator(NumberValidator.getNumberInstance()).withMinimum(1).withMaximum(1).create();}}
{{Option numOpt = oBuilder.withLongName("num").withArgument(numArg).create();}}
{{Group options = gBuilder.withOption(numOpt).create();}}

Then parsing {{--num -0.1}} results in:

{{Unexpected -0.1 while processing --num}}
