Parses a String[] of command line arguments in order to populate a CommandLineArgs object.

Working with option arguments

Option arguments must adhere to the exact syntax:

--optName[=optValue]

That is, options must be prefixed with "--" and may or may not specify a value. If a value is specified, the name and value must be separated without spaces by an equals sign ("="). The value may optionally be an empty string.

Valid examples of option arguments

--foo
--foo=
--foo=""
--foo=bar
--foo="bar then baz"
--foo=bar,baz,biz

Invalid examples of option arguments

-foo
--foo bar
--foo = bar
--foo=bar --foo=baz --foo=biz

Working with non-option arguments

Any and all arguments specified at the command line without the "--" option prefix will be considered as "non-option arguments" and made available through the CommandLineArgs#getNonOptionArgs() method.
