Patrick Woodworth updated IVY-952:
----------------------------------
Description: Currently it is impossible to pass any arguments which start
with the dash character through to the class specified by the "main" argument
in standalone mode. The attached patch makes the command-line parser recognize
the special getopt-style "--" argument which tells the parser to stop parsing
for known arguments and simply pass all subsequent tokens on to the main method
of the class being invoked. For the record, I am aware of the "args" option
which looks to be intended for this purpose, but it doesn't work. Introducing
the special double-dash operator seemed the best fix as it's a widely
recognized idiom for precisely this functionality. (was: Currently it is
