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

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3992?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12714690#comment-12714690 ] 

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.

> 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.
