Andrew,
Thank you for the suggestion, but it didn't work. Although some of
the info in my post was wrong. I claimed I was getting this:
ShellCommand [-DB|-SCM|-SCW] [-s <source>]
I was actually getting this:
ShellCommand [-DB|-SCM|-SCW -s <source>]
What I want hasn't changed:
ShellCommand -DB|-SCM|-SCW [-s <source>]
Adding setMinimum(1) and setMaximum(1) to the initial group didn't
change anything.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
If you're interested, here's my code.
private static void processArgs() {
DefaultOptionBuilder oBldr = new DefaultOptionBuilder();
Option dbOption = oBldr
.withShortName("DB")
.withDescription("DB Project")
.create();
Option scMacOption = oBldr
.withShortName("SCM")
.withDescription("SC for Mac
Project")
.create();
Option scWinOption = oBldr
.withShortName("SCW")
.withDescription("SC for Windows
Project")
.create();
GroupBuilder gb = new GroupBuilder();
Group project = gb
.withName("Project")
.withDescription("Specifies the
Project")
.withOption(dbOption)
.withOption(scMacOption)
.withOption(scWinOption)
.withMinimum(1)
.withMaximum(1)
.create();
ArgumentBuilder aBldr = new ArgumentBuilder();
Argument srcArg = aBldr.withName("source")
.withMinimum(1)
.withMaximum(1)
.create();
Option compatible = oBldr.withShortName("s")
.withShortName("source")
.withDescription("Use Source")
.withRequired(false)
.withArgument(srcArg)
.create();
Group all =
gb.withOption(project).withOption(compatible).create();
HelpFormatter fmt = new HelpFormatter();
fmt.setGroup(all);
fmt.setShellCommand("ShellCommand");
fmt.print();
}

Comrades,
I want to use CLI 2.0 to create command line options that look
like this:
ShellCommand -DB|-SCM|-SCW [-s <source>]
I'm adding three DefaultOptions to a group to get the first set (-
DB|-SCM|-SCW), but the trouble is, the user is required to specify
one of
the three, but I can't figure out a way to make this group
required. Consequently, I'm getting this:
ShellCommand [-DB|-SCM|-SCW] [-s <source>]
This is not what I want.
Is there any way to do this?
hi, you should be able to set a minimum number of children needed to
satisfy the group i.e. 1 in this case. This can be done in the
constructor of GroupImpl or if you are using the GroupBuilder
(recommended) then call .withMinimum(1) before .create()
If they have to specify exactly 1, then you will need .withMaximum(1)
as well, otherwise "-DB -SCM -s foo" would be accepted.
hope this helps
