I don't want the line to be too long. Is the preferred terminal width still 80
now? I noticed the java help output still fits with 80 chars but javac is
already not.
It could fit on a second line, the java launcher usage output does this.
I see jarsigner already uses multiple lines so it shouldn't be an issue.
In general then I think we have a lot of inconsistencies in our command
line tools. This goes for option names (more so with the new tools where
we've started to use GNU style), whether no args prints usage or not,
and of course the usage output itself. I personally find it annoying
when usage output wraps (which of course depends on fonts and terminal
width).
A minor annoyance but the list of providers (and provide classes) is a
maintained in jarsigner as a Vector, any reason why this can't be a List?
No reason. It's just history. I can fix it.
Thank, I realize this is old code.
