------------------------------------
Summary: Short/Long options can be called using either '-' or '--'
hyphens with no limitation
Key: CLI-264
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-264
Project: Commons CLI
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CLI-1.x
Affects Versions: 1.3.1
Reporter: Adrien CABARBAYE
When using DefaultParser, any options can be accessed using either '-' or '--'
as a prefix and so regardless whether they have been defined as short or long.
the problem is in handleToken:
237 else if (token.startsWith("--"))
238 {
239 handleLongOption(token);
240 }
241 else if (token.startsWith("-") && !"-".equals(token))
242 {
243 handleShortAndLongOption(token);
244 }
Some logic should be added so that if an option has been defined as short
(e.g. -h), if --h is used, for instance, in the command line, an exception
should be raised. Similarly for long options which are being called using only
'-' instead of '--' as a prefix, an exception should also be fired.
