/**
 * A formatter of help messages for command line options.
 *
 * 
Example:
 * 
 * 
 * Options options = new Options();
 * options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("file")
 *                                .withDescription("The file to be processed")
 *                                .hasArg()
 *                                .withArgName("FILE")
 *                                .isRequired()
 *                                .create('f'));
 * options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("version")
 *                                .withDescription("Print the version of the application")
 *                                .create('v'));
 * options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("help").create('h'));
 * 
 * String header = "Do something useful with an input file\n\n";
 * String footer = "\nPlease report issues at http://example.com/issues";
 * 
 * HelpFormatter formatter = new HelpFormatter();
 * formatter.printHelp("myapp", header, options, footer, true);
 * 
 * 
 * This produces the following output:
 * 
 * 
 * usage: myapp -f <FILE> [-h] [-v]
 * Do something useful with an input file
 * 
 *  -f,--file <FILE>   The file to be processed
 *  -h,--help
 *  -v,--version       Print the version of the application
 * 
 * Please report issues at http://example.com/issues
