Updated Java Command Line Utility

A couple of years ago, I posted source code for a (massively over-engineered?) Java utility I wrote to parse command line arguments. Recently, I added a new capability. The utility will let you specify options using "key value" or "key=value", where keys can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive at your discretion, and the "=" separator can be changed to any character. (The utility also understands toggles and positional arguments, and can cope with excess arguments on the command line.) The new capability allows you to use the same key more than once (if you declare it to be reusable), with the values found returned in a list.

If you're wondering why I would want that feature, the specific motivation was to let me put multiple CPLEX parameters on the command line without having to declare a zillion keys. (If you don't know what CPLEX is, don't worry about it.) So a command line in one of my programs might look like

... -p TiLim=30 -p PreInd=false -p MIPEmphasis=3 ...

with "-p" translated as "here comes another bleeping parameter to set".

The updated utility (including a test program to demonstrate its capabilities) is now posted here. As before, I'm releasing it under the Apache 2.0 license.

Update: The utility, which also includes methods to parse file specifications with wildcards and find matching files, is now available from Sourceforge under the name JCLILIB, still under the Apache 2.0 license.
