              Kristoff what version of Commons CLI did you use? I tried your test case on the trunk and besides a missing space in your test it worked fine.

              I reproduced the issue, it requires a dedicated test case since it is tied to the initialization of a static field in OptionBuilder. The issue exists since CLI 1.1.
