Description

The help gives you:

c:\projectsASF\ofbiz>java -jar ofbiz.jar -help

Usage: java -jar ofbiz.jar [command] [arguments]
-both -----> Run simultaneously the POS (Point of Sales) application and OFBiz standard
-help, -? ----> This screen
-install -----> Run install (create tables/load data)
-pos -----> Run the POS (Point of Sales) application
-setup -------> Run external application server setup
-start -------> Start the server
-status ------> Status of the server
-shutdown ----> Shutdown the server
-test --------> Run the JUnit test script
[no config] --> Use default config
[no command] -> Start the server w/ default config

But actually only the -help, -status and -shutdown command need a dash.

For now we decided to change the documentation generated by the help command to remove dashes when they are not needed.

To change
-install -----> Run install (create tables/load data)
by
-load-data -----> Create tables/load data

To comment out the
-setup -------> Run external application server setup
line

More to come, see this thread: http://markmail.org/message/i36uc4zkuglmdfcd

When done, we will try to have things consisent and re-add the missing dashes to the commands and in the help. Then the "Technical production setup guide" should be updated, pfew...
