java args like linux args

Question

I want to pass arguments to a java application but like linux application style.

The main method in java uses an String array for all parameters. In linux, most applications accepts parameters like: ls -l --color

-l for to output in list style

--color is for colorize output

I want to find an piece of code to parse the String array of main method like linux application.

I want to do something like this: java -jar myapp.jar -d arg1 --arg2

I can make it but I have no time. So, if somebody have some piece of code to do that, better.

You have to parse parameters manually or use http://commons.apache.org/cli/
