Description

This is a RFE to implement the java memory setting style of option, that is a single hyphen with a long option name and a value immediately after.

For example: -Xmx512M

public void testJavaMemorySettings() throws Exception {
    Options options = new Options();
    options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("Xmx").hasArg().create("Xmx"));

    Parser parser = new GnuParser();
    CommandLine cl = parser.parse(options, new  String[] { "-Xmx512M" });

    assertTrue(cl.hasOption("Xmx"));
    assertEquals("512M", cl.getOptionValue("Xmx"));
}
