[jboss-as7-dev] CLI arguments convention

It's not entirely consistent, at the moment. I'd like to get some feedback on it and what's more convenient for you. An example of inconsistency deploy my.war my_war_name.war my_war_runtime_name.war here are three arguments: the deployment, the name and the runtime name. The last two are optional but if you want to specify them, you have to know the order in which they should appear. On the other hand, there is, e.g. create-jms-cf which has lots of arguments and where it's impossible to learn all of them, so it looks like create-jms-cf name=mycf entries=cf/mycf ... In addition, it's kind of a proprietary convention. We discussed this with Max today and I'm looking into the GNU convention for command line arguments, i.e. adding '--' prefix for arg names. But also, to keep things simple, have arguments that don't require an arg name in front of them, e.g. in case of deploy, the following would be equivalent: deploy --file=my.war --name=my_war_name.war --runtime-name=my_war_runtime_name.war deploy my.war --name=my_war_name.war --my_war_runtime_name.war And another point is the use of '='. Some command lines don't use it, e.g. deploy --file my.war --name my_war_name.war --runtime-name my_war_runtime_name.war and some do deploy --file=my.war --name=my_war_name.war --runtime-name=my_war_runtime_name.war Any preferences? Are there any other things you'd like to improve? Thanks, Alexey
