----------------------------------------------------------------

This standalone test program reproduces the issue for me:
{code:java}
import org.apache.commons.cli.*;

class CheckEmpty {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Option widgetCount = Option.builder()
        .longOpt("widget-count")
        .hasArg()
        .required()
        .build();

    Options options = new Options();
    options.addOption(widgetCount);

    CommandLineParser parser = new DefaultParser();
    CommandLine commandLine;
    try {
      commandLine = parser.parse(options, args);
      if (commandLine.hasOption("widget-count")) {
        String optionArg = commandLine.getOptionValue("widget-count");
        System.out.println("Received widget count of: " + optionArg);
      }
    } catch (ParseException e) {
      System.err.println("Problem parsing args: " + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }
}
{code}

>                 Key: CLI-297
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-297
>             Project: Commons CLI
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: CLI-1.x
>    Affects Versions: 1.4
>         Environment: OS: macOS 10.14.6
> Java: Corretto-8.212.04.2 (build 1.8.0_212-b04)
>            Reporter: Friedrich Clausen
>            Priority: Minor
>
> When an option taking an argument is specified with a space the blank 
> checking works:
> {code:none}
> $ CheckEmpty --widget-count
> org.apache.commons.cli.MissingOptionException: Missing required option: 
> widget-count
> {code}
>  However when using the equals sign as a separator that checking does not 
> seem to apply
> {code:none}
> $ CheckEmpty --widget-count=
> Received widget count of:
> {code}
> I'd expect it to throw an exception just like the space separated variety.
