----------------------------------------------------------------

Looks good. I think that the check for conditional arguments 
{{arg.contains("--")}} is a bit too weak. 

Why aren't you adding a {{fromPositionalArgs()}} static method?

> While working on FLINK-2021, we noticed we need to have support for 
> positional arguments, since after FLINK-2021 is merged, all training 
> materials and guides that are pointing to the old way of executing the 
> examples will not work. 
> What I have in mind is something like this:
> {code}
> // ------------------ Constructors ------------------------
>       public static ParameterTool fromArgs(String[] args) {
>               isPositional = true;
>               // check if arg type is positional
>               for(String arg:args){
>                       if (arg.contains("--")){
>                               isPositional = false;
>                       }
>               }
>               if(isPositional){
>                       return fromPositionalArgument(args);
>               }
>               ...
>       // create ParameterTool for positional arguments
>       public static ParameterTool fromPositionalArgument(String[] args){

>       private ParameterTool(String[] args){

>       // return the positional argument based on the given index
