Adrien CABARBAYE updated CLI-264:
---------------------------------
Description:
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.
