Description

When an option taking an argument is specified with a space the blank checking works:

$ CheckEmpty --widget-count
org.apache.commons.cli.MissingArgumentException: Missing argument for option: widget-count

 However when using the equals sign as a separator that checking does not seem to apply

$ CheckEmpty --widget-count=
Received widget count of:

I'd expect it to throw an exception just like the space separated variety.
