Hello! I made mistake in my last letter. I was confused getOptions() with extractOption() method in PatternParser class. It's clear when we like to add characters without options from Paul Glezen's article and example "AppServer". What should I do when I like to add my own characters with my options? How can I get option of my conversion characters? I saw that authors of the PatternParser class use extractOption() method to get conversion character option in finalizeConverter(char c) method. But extractOption() method is private and I can't use it. That's why I suggest to make this method protected, so that PatternParser subclass can access to it. May be I'm in wrong way and somebody help me in this question.
