LocalDateOption

public LocalDateOption(String shortName,
                       String longName,

longName - long name of the option (e.g. --type)

description - helpful description of the option (printed for usage message)

mandatory - whether this option must be specified

allowMany - whether this option can take more than one value (i.e. be specified more than once)

public LocalDateOption(String shortName,
                       String longName,
                       String description,
                       int minCount,
                       int maxCount)

Parameters:

shortName - short name of the option (e.g. -t)

longName - long name of the option (e.g. --type)

description - helpful description of the option (printed for usage message)

minCount - minimum number of occurrences required for this option
