Do you have an example of where you'd use the type? In general, having code which relies on underlying implementation details is always harder to port compared to code which uses the published API. I don't know whether the following helps: ``` def cli = new groovy.cli.commons.CliBuilder() cli.a(args: 1, longOpt: 'abc', type: double, 'abc') def options = cli.parse(['--abc', '0.0']) assert options.abc instanceof Double assert options.getSavedTypeOptions()['abc']?.type.toString() == 'double' ``` It illustrates how to get the type in a way the leaks some details of the CliBuilder implementation but not details from the underlying CLI library and should port unchanged across to picocli. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
