[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3992) Improve formatting of command line help

Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-3992:
---------------------------------------
BTW, IIRC the current limited width format of this output was basically just my simple way
of dealing with implementing some sort of reasonable line wrapping of the command
descriptions. Assume the console window will have a reasonable minimum width and wrap
lines at that width. If there is some better approach, go for it. I also don't think I
did any sort of scientific study when I picked the width, so don't assume it's a
sacred figure.

Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Final

For command line parameters where there is both a short or a long version of the same
option, the short and long version should be comma separated. This is similar to how many
command line tools display help or in man pages.
Current output:
{noformat}
-h Display this message and exit
--help Display this message and exit
{noformat}
Suggested output:
{noformat}
-h, --help Display this message and exit
