DefaultParser in Apache Commons CLI

apache-commons, command-line-interface, java

Solution

I used `GnuParser()` instead of `DefaultParser()` and it works well. `CommandLineParser parser = new GnuParser();` Update : In version 1.3.1 of CLI, `GnuParser()` is now deprecated. So I simply added `import org.apache.commons.cli.DefaultParser;` and now I use `CommandLineParser parser = new DefaultParser();` And all is fine!

Problem

I wanted to try out the Apache Commons CLI, and figured a good place to start would be the 'usage' section on its web page. http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-cli/usage.html Now, the example suggest to create a `DefaultParser`, however the closest sounding I could find is `BasicParser`. Is this the thing to use, am I missing something?
