Ingo Weiss commented on CLI-179: -------------------------------- [~ebourg], I don't quite understand your suggestion here. If I set the option group as required then it will require to have a --help or --version but that doesn't translate to "if --help or --version are provided, skip the required options list outside this option group". > Needs "standalone" options that can be used even if required options are not > set > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CLI-179 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-179 > Project: Commons CLI > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Parser > Affects Versions: 1.2 > Reporter: Joël Royer > Attachments: CLI-179.patch > > > it is currently impossible to have options like "help" or "version" if we > also have some required options. The parsing results in an error "Missing > parameters". > But for an "help" or "version" option, it would be usefull to display the > wanted information, even if required options are not set. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
