For some definitions of fine :-) I generally use terminals that are 150-180 characters wide so output that assumes a fixed 80 character line width looks dreadful. It seems that JOpt Simple is making the same mistake as Commons CLI and not fitting the output to the actual width of the terminal if that can be determined or 80 characters if it cannot. Still not really a Gradle issue. > What you can also do with JOpt simple is: gradle clean -Dskip.test libs > > This arbitrary positioning of parameters is really cool when you work > with the history of the command line and just wan to add a skip or > whatever. So does this mean that the -D option is an option to the clean target ? Consider a command line such as: |> bzr -Dtransport pull --remember http://blah.blah.blah The ordering of the options is actually critical here. Having a system where the ordering of parameters on the command line is not obeyed is going to lead to great confusion. -- Russel. ==================================================== Dr Russel Winder Partner Concertant LLP t: +44 20 7585 2200, +44 20 7193 9203 41 Buckmaster Road, f: +44 8700 516 084 London SW11 1EN, UK. m: +44 7770 465 077
