> When using forge commands in interactive mode, the CLI shows options line by line. Its a bit confusing which are mandatory ,and which are optional.
> Today it shows ? for all options, eg
> {code}
> Press <ENTER> to confirm, or <CTRL>+C to cancel.
> ? componentName (Name of component type to add): [0-179] 165
> ? file (The XML file to use (either Spring or Blueprint)) [META-INF/spring/foo.xml]:
> ? timerName (The name of the timer):
> ***ERROR*** timerName must be specified.
> {code}
> Notice that both file and timerName has a starting ? on the CLI. But both options is required. So its IMHO better to show a * instead to indicate required.
> Here is an example where I am a bit further down in the CLI for the same command
> {code}
> Press <ENTER> to confirm, or <CTRL>+C to cancel.
> ? componentName (Name of component type to add): [0-179] 165
> ? file (The XML file to use (either Spring or Blueprint)) [META-INF/spring/foo.xml]:
> ? timerName (The name of the timer):  foo
> ? time (A java.util.Date the first event should be generated. If using the URI the pattern expected is: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss or yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.):
> ? period (If greater than 0 generate periodic events every period milliseconds. The default value is 1000.) [1000]:  2000
> ? delay (The number of milliseconds to wait before the first event is generated. Should not be used in conjunction with the time option. The default value is 1000.) [1000]:
> {code}
> The time, period, and delay option is optional. But some of them have a default value which is shown nicely.
> But again this ticket is about changing the ? to a * for the required options.
