Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-2602:
----------------------------------------
thank you for the information. If we take into account that all of these
projects might be affected we will never be able to do any change to the public
API of the tools (with the options/parms being part of that) even in a major
release - is that intended?
> Enhance command line tools
> --------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2602
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2602
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 1.8.8, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.0 PDFBox
>
>
> The command line tools shall be enhanced to have the same behavior across all
> tools.
> From the discussion on the dev mailing list
> - add an -h option to print the usage
> - print the usage to System.err and use an exit code of 1 if there was an
> invalid command line parameter
> - print messages on exceptions to System.err
> - rethrow the exception so java can handle it if it will terminate afterwards
> anyway
> - use an exit code of 1if rethrowing doesn't make sense
> Additional input:
