------------------------------

             Summary: Improve formatting of command line help
                 Key: AS7-3992
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3992
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: Console
    Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Final
            Reporter: Paul Gier
            Assignee: Paul Gier
             Fix For: 7.1.1.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
{noformat}
