The snapshot which was accidentally published on ibiblio contains a number of API differences from the actual 1.0 release. Most obviously, the snapshot jar contains classes OptionValidator and Util which are not present in the real 1.0 release.

Debate is currently occurring about the best way to resolve this issue.

Resolution

The old 1.0 jar was renamed to commons-cli-20040117.000000.jar and a correct commons-cli-1.0.jar put in placeFor the moment, the best solution is to check the contents of your maven repository (~/.maven on unix/linux systems). If the incorrect file is there then download the 1.0 distribution from the Apache site or its mirrors and place the jar contained in that distribution into the maven repository manually.
