Emmanuel Bourg commented on CLI-137:
------------------------------------
I don't think it's worth supporting both behaviors, the vast majority of CLI
users are still with the 1.0 version, and those using CLI 1.1 are unlikely to
rely on this weird behavior (I checked the code for JEuclid, James JSPF, easyb
and OpenEJB which are depending on CLI 1.1 according to mvnrepository.com, none
uses more than 1 argument per option)
> Change of behaviour 1.0 -> 1.1
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: CLI-137
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-137
> Project: Commons CLI
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CLI-1.x
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Environment: Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn (JDK 1.6.0) + Commons CLI 1.0
> and 1.1
> Reporter: Russel Winder
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.2
>
> Attachments: repeated-options.patch
>
>
> The code:
> {code}
> import org.apache.commons.cli.*;
> public class Trial {
> private void execute (String[] commandLine) throws ParseException {
> Options options = new Options();
> options.addOption (
> OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("flob").hasArg().create('F') );
> CommandLine line = new GnuParser().parse(options, commandLine);
> String[] results = line.getOptionValues('F');
> if ( results != null ) {
> for ( String s : results ) {
> System.out.println( "-F " + s );
> }
> }
> results = line.getOptionValues("flob") ;
> if ( results != null ) {
> for ( String s : results ) {
> System.out.println( "--blah " + s );
> }
> }
> String[] theRest = line.getArgs() ;
> for ( String s : theRest ) {
> System.out.print( s + " " );
> }
> System.out.println();
> }
> public static void main (String[] args) throws ParseException {
> Trial trial = new Trial() ;
> trial.execute ( new String[] { "-F1" , "-F3" , "-Fbla" , "-F 76" ,
> "--flob" , "54" } ) ;
> }
> }
> {code}
> when compiled and executed under 1.0 produces:
> trial:
> [java] -F 1
> [java] -F 3
> [java] -F bla
> [java] -F 76
> [java] -F 54
> [java]
> However, when compiled and executed under 1.1 produces:
> trial:
> [java] -F 1
> [java] --blah 1
> [java] 3 bla 76 54
