public CLOption(CLOptionDescriptor descriptor) 
{
        if (descriptor != null) {
            m_descriptor = descriptor;
        }
}

Constructor taking an descriptor

Parameters:

descriptor - the descriptor iff null, will default to a "text argument" descriptor.

 public CLOption(String argument) 
{
        this((CLOptionDescriptor) null);
        addArgument(argument);
}

Constructor taking argument for option.

Parameters:

argument - the argument

 public final  void addArgument(String argument) 
{
        if (null == m_arguments) {
            m_arguments = new String[] { argument };
        } else {
            final String[] arguments = new String[m_arguments.length + 1];
            System.arraycopy(m_arguments, 0, arguments, 0, m_arguments.length);
            arguments[m_arguments.length] = argument;
            m_arguments = arguments;
        }
}

Mutator of Argument property.

 public final String getArgument() 
{
        return getArgument(0);
}

Retrieve argument to option if it takes arguments.

 public final String getArgument(int index) 
{
        if (null == m_arguments || index <  0 || index  >= m_arguments.length) {
            return null;
        } else {
            return m_arguments[index];
        }
}

Retrieve indexed argument to option if it takes arguments.

 public final int getArgumentCount() 
{
        if (null == m_arguments) {
            return 0;
        } else {
            return m_arguments.length;
        }
}

Get number of arguments.

 public final CLOptionDescriptor getDescriptor() 
{
        return m_descriptor;
}

 final String toShortString() 
{
        final StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        final char id = (char) m_descriptor.getId();
        if (id != TEXT_ARGUMENT) {
            sb.append("-");
            sb.append(id);
        }
        if (null != m_arguments) {
            if (id != TEXT_ARGUMENT) {
                sb.append("=");
            }
            sb.append(Arrays.asList(m_arguments));
        }
        return sb.toString();
}

 public final String toString() 
{
        final StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        sb.append("[");
        final char id = (char) m_descriptor.getId();
        if (id == TEXT_ARGUMENT) {
            sb.append("TEXT ");
        } else {
            sb.append("Option ");
            sb.append(id);
        }
        if (null != m_arguments) {
            sb.append(", ");
            sb.append(Arrays.asList(m_arguments));
        }
        sb.append(" ]");
        return sb.toString();
