Emmanuel Bourg commented on CLI-197:
------------------------------------
This isn't an error in the documentation but it might be more explicit: if
stopAtNonOption is true an unrecognized token stops the parsing and the
remaining tokens are added as extra arguments. If stopAtNonOption is false the
parsing breaks with an exception.
"Stop" doesn't refer to the action of throwing an exception, it refers to the
change of the parser behavior.
> boolean option in documentation is woorking oposite way documented

> Key: CLI-197
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-197
> Project: Commons CLI
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Anders Larsson
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 0.17h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.17h
>
> In documentation it says as follows:
> CommandLine parse(Options options,
> String[] arguments,
> boolean stopAtNonOption)
> throws ParseException
> stopAtNonOption - specifies whether to continue parsing the arguments
> if a non option is encountered.
> The parser stops an throws Exception if "stopAtNonOption" is set to false
> (when I guess it should be other way round), if I set boolean "true", the
> parser ignores unknown arguments and continues without throwing Exception.
