Michael Scheper commented on CLI-179:
-------------------------------------
Not sure the group solution is a real solution. When I try it, it makes the
{{HelpFormatter}} output strange, and it adds a level of complexity to
retrieving the option. +1 on [~jroyer]'s {{isStandalone(boolean)}} suggestion.
> Needs "standalone" options that can be used even if required options are not
> set

> it is currently impossible to have options like "help" or "version" if we
> also have some required options. The parsing results in an error "Missing
> parameters".
> But for an "help" or "version" option, it would be usefull to display the
> wanted information, even if required options are not set.
