Joern Kottmann commented on OPENNLP-402:
----------------------------------------
The iteration and cutoff parameter will be removed. They are only there for
backward compatibility.
The notion of -param value does most often not rely on a certain parameter
oder, and I believe having this is highly confusing to a user.
Should we implement the solution where to format is added to the tool name?
I think that has a couple of advantages
1. I only get help for parameters I need, and I can still see the help message
while typing my command. That is not possible when the help message is a few
screens long.
2. Parameter order does not matter
3. It works as it did before, default will be opennlp format
What do you think?
===
In general, implicit format choice removes the need of 1 extra argument. And
although I like it and thought of it, the problem is that sometimes it is not
possible to rename the files - they are on the CD-ROM, or read-only network
share, or in the database which has a JDBC URL.
===
I don't get your point here. Why do we need to rename the files? I just need to
provide a path to a file (or a directory).

> Project: OpenNLP
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Command Line Interface, Formats
> Affects Versions: tools-1.5.3-incubating
> Reporter: Aliaksandr Autayeu
> Labels: patch

>
> Proposed patch refactors CLI tools and simplifies the code by introducing
> hierarchy and removing a lot of code duplication. It also introduces better
> error and help messages, including help for formats and listing available
> formats in various tools, which are now able to work with formats directly.
> This, in turn, eliminates the need to keep converted files on disk.
