Method Detail

setOptionFlags

void setOptionFlags(java.lang.String... flags)

This will set options to a parser, in a way generally equivalent to passing in the same sequence of command-line arguments. This is a useful convenience method when building a parser programmatically. The options passed in should be specified like command-line arguments, including with an initial minus sign.

Parameters:

flags - Arguments to the parser, for example, {"-outputFormat", "typedDependencies", "-maxLength", "70"}

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If an unknown flag is passed in
