Implementation for issue https://github.com/cbeust/jcommander/issues/395

[dibog]

Hi,

in the following pull request you can find my implementation for the feature I described within issue https://github.com/cbeust/jcommander/issues/395.

It contains:

• the change it self
• test cases (as I'm unfamilier with TestNG they might be not fully correct)
• I added to your documentation, but as I'm not familar with gradle or koblat I couldn't check it (I'm using maven)

Best regards, Dieter

I'm working on a windows system and there I couldn't get the project to run or test run as I'm no aware how to do that with Unix only scripts. My test class run fine within IntelliJ though. The errors which occured seems not to stem from my changes, but from a defect configuration. If a pom would be provided I could check what exactly went wrong.

@mkarg Hi Markus,

since some years I switch to Kotlin and am using there the very nice https://ajalt.github.io/clikt/. So I have no more interest in this change request, but in case you want to use my merge request, feel free to use it.

Best regards, Dieter

Thank you for your quick answer, Dieter. In fact I do not see the benefit of valueOf for the reason outlined in https://github.com/cbeust/jcommander/issues/395#issuecomment-337334608. Anyways, thank you for contributing to JCommander. :-)
