Documentation Bugs

The Usage Scenarios documentation shows the PosixParser being used for the Ant example. This won't work. Either the BasicParser or GnuParser should be used for this example.

The \[http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/cli/usage.html Usage Scenarios\] documentation gives an API usage example for the Ant *logfile* option of:

Option logfile = OptionBuilder.withArgName( "file" )BR

                                .hasArg()

BR

                                .withDescription(  "use given file for log" )

BR

                                .create( "

file" );

This should instead be:

Option logfile = OptionBuilder.withArgName( "file" )BR

                                .hasArg()

BR

                                .withDescription(  "use given file for log" )

BR

                                .create( "
