In order to acces to the remaining argument you can use: getValues methods variants. On my opinon the best solution is to use: getValues(Option), so you can put all your Options into a Map then you can retrieve the value of a particular option in a unique way. The getValues(String), is less elegant on my humble opinion (You don't have a garantee of unicity, if group of option has the same option name as root option, with the String form you can't distinguish which option, but with Option you can distinguish it) If you want to use CLI, a better option is to use CL2 (not released yet, but it is stable).
