Sh...ugar.. I thought looking into what is packaged would make the choice
easier...
rule outs:
- libcommons-cli-java - I don't like Apache Commons stuff
- libargs4j-java - Is modelled after javac's broken options, not GNU style
- liboptions-java - AFAIK only used by one project
- libjargs-java - very low activity upstream, last release 2005?
- libgetopt-java - ancient (2000) Java style, only translation updates since
then
Jcommander's documentation looks more inviting. So I'll start with that one.

Not sure that is actually a valid reason for ruling it out :-)

I don't have any real preference as to which package you use as I have
not been involved with development of this tool.
However as a maintainer of at least ~40 packages that use it please
make sure whatever you are looking todo is backwards compatible - I
don't think we want to have to update every package that uses m-d-h to
use a new set of CLI options/new style.
Looking forward to seeing what improvements you are going to make.
Cheers
James

Good choice. I played with it before and it is quite nice.

Hello,
I would like to keep the list of dependencies for maven-debian-helper as
small as possible. But on the principle of factoring out code, I'm fine.
There are more libraries available in Debian now than when I started
working on this package.
JCommander looks like a good candidate, but as it's a native Maven
project, you will have to re-package it using maven-repo-helper and
maven-ant-helper only to avoid circular dependencies.
