(I > believe there was a recent request for this feature on the user list.) I'm pretty sure Picocli is great. Personally I wouldn't want to add it just to enable an edge case. Most people don't have Ant command lines long enough to even make them think about @-files. -propertyfile helps with the case of many -D options and then there always is the option to set the ANT_ARGS environment variable. It should be possible to provide a Picocli ArgumentProcessor that people who need additional features can plug into their builds and activate, though.
