Summary

args4j is a small Java class library that makes it easy

to parse command line options/arguments in your CUI application.

- It makes the command line parsing very easy by using annotations

- You can generate the usage screen very easily

- You can generate HTML/XML that lists all options for your documentation

- Fully supports localization

- It is designed to parse javac like options (as opposed to GNU-style

where ls -lR is considered to have two options l and R)
