Description

I've the following code:

options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("label").hasArg().create("l"));
options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("property-descriptor").hasArgs
().create("p"));
...

if the args param of the parser is

args[0] = "--label";
args[1] = "p";
args[ ] = ...

ParseException is thrown with the following message: "no argument for:l".
If I change args[1] using any character not used as short option's form the
programs work. Any chars used as short option's form makes the parser to fail.
