    <p>Commons CLI -- version ##VERSION## (##QUALITY##)</p>

	<p>The commons-cli package aides in parsing command-line arguments.</p>

	<p>Allow command-line arguments to be parsed against a descriptor of
	valid options (long and short), potentially with arguments.</p>

	<p>command-line arguments may be of the typical <code>String[]</code>
	form, but also may be a <code>java.util.List</code>.  Indexes allow
	for parsing only a portion of the command-line.  Also, functionality
	for parsing the command-line in phases is built in, allowing for
	'cvs-style' command-lines, where some global options are specified
	before a 'command' argument, and command-specific options are
	specified after the command argument:

	<code>
	<pre>
		myApp -p &lt;port&gt; command -p &lt;printer&gt;
	</pre>
	</code>
