-------------------------------
Summary: Groups cannot be reused
Key: CLI-251
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-251
Project: Commons CLI
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CLI-2.x, Options definition, Validation
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Greg Toombs
Priority: Minor
In GroupImpl.java, the code after this comment:
// if the child option is present then validate it
ends up rejecting what should be valid command-line args. If you make a group
and use it as a child in more than one parent, which is a wholly reasonable
usage of the API, I think the child only registers one parent and then the "int
present" counting goes over its maximum and the args are rejected. hasOption
returns a false positive.
