--------------------------------------
Summary: Make Option a generic class
Key: CLI-272
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-272
Project: Commons CLI
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CLI-1.x, Options definition
Affects Versions: 1.4
Reporter: Christoph Läubrich
An Option can have a type (e.g. String, Number, ...) but this type can not
automatically be inferred later since Option is not generic.
It would be usefull to add a generic to the Option so the type can be inferred
like Option<String>, Option<Number> and so on.
The CommandLine can then have an
<T> getParsedOptionValue(Option<T> opt)
method so type-safe fetching of Option values is possible without any
(optimistic) casting or typechecking is involved.
