-Description: API for working with the command line arguments and options
- You define arguments you want to parse, parse arguments the user
- entered and then you can retrieve them like properties
+Description: Command line arguments and options parsing library
+ The Apache Commons CLI library provides an API for parsing command line options
+ passed to programs. It's also able to print help messages detailing the options
+ available for a command line tool.
+ .
+ Commons CLI supports different types of options:
+ .
+  * POSIX like options (ie. tar -zxvf foo.tar.gz)
+  *  GNU like long options (ie. du --human-readable --max-depth=1)
+  *  Java like properties (ie. java -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true Foo)
+  *  Short options with value attached (ie. gcc -O2 foo.c)
+  *  long options with single hyphen (ie. ant -projecthelp)
