Yes, I already tried that with no luck.

The thing is, commons-cli 1.3 is supposed to be backward compatible
with 1.2 and I believe so. It still provides PosixParser class
although is marked as deprecated.

Current groovy version in the archive is 1.8.6-4 and it was compiled
with commons-cli 1.2. When you try to build it today, ant tasks defs
fail when they are run against 1.3. So, I can't even do a test build
to check if DefaultParser works OK or not.
