Description

The short commandline options displayed in the usage of m2 --help don't get parsed:

m2 -npl install
Unable to parse command line options: Unrecognized option: -n

usage: maven [options] [goal [goal2 [goal3] ...]]

I've checked commons-cli and there's a fix for this in cvs/svn:

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/cli/src/java/org/apache/commons/cli/PosixParser.java
see version 1.16 comments.

I've tried bumping commons-cli to 1.0, but this fix apparently isn't in there.
