Reimplement CliBuilder over another CLI API

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      current CliBuilder implementation is based on the dead and outdated commons-cli project, which affects its flexibility, API, design and fimits its features.
      There are better alternatives - commons-cli2, args4j, jcommander, to name a few.

      CLI processing is critical feature for Groovy scripts usability, and lacking in it drive people away (even devoted Groovy advocates like @russel_winder) and prevents adoption.
