Isuranga Perera updated CLI-264:
--------------------------------
Attachment: (was: temp.html)
> 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
> Labels: features
>
> 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.
