Sorry - my previous comment had a typo; it should have said:
"If the user specifies the old -ae parameter
specifying generation of the old TAE format, - issue an error message..."
The whole idea was to give an error message to users who upgraded but had
scripts that used the old parameter to specify the "TAE" output format.
The old '-ae' parameter was used to generate output Analysis Engine
descriptor - not a TAE descriptor. We can just ignore this in the new code,
as a deprecated command line parameter.
It makes no sense to me to add a new parameter (-tae) which no one has ever
used, or seen documented, and then if they use it (I'm not sure how that
would
ever happen) to issue an error message...

I thought that your intention was to emphasize that the old TAE output
format is not available any more. If a user wants to generate the old TAE
format by using the erroneous '-tae' flag, appropriate exception is thrown.
