JDepsTask:111 Did you mean --summary?

Yes will fix it. Why don't you remain consistent to all other existing java tools? E.g. javac uses: -cp path or -classpath path Double hyphen '--' is never used until today.

'--' is the GNU-style option. pack200 uses GNU-style options for some time. There was some discussion in jigsaw-dev [1] and the new jigsaw CLIs are moving to that direction.

So better: -P -profile Show profile or the file containing a package -R -recursive Traverse all dependencies recursively

Anyway, if you prefer to stick at '--', then you should consistently use it for '--version', '--classpath', '--all'

Renamed to --version.

Maybe I'm in error, but additionally it seems to me, that "-classpath=Foo" doesn't match by:

-classpath is the one inconsistent with others. We think that it would be better to live with "-classpath" as people are familiar with -classpath option.

Thanks Mandy [1] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2009-March/000046.html
