How to get the input order of parameters in JCommander?

Question

How can I get the input order of parameters in JCommander?
I want to know which parameter was input first.
For example

Myapp --cut -- reverse
Myapp --reverse -- cut

Is this possible in Jcommander?
And if so, how?

The question should be clear by now. An answer is open. – zx485 Mar 07 '20 at 00:13 — zx485, Mar 07 '20 at 00:13

One way to achieve your need is instead of define multiple flag.

Then read your command args:

@Parameter(names = "-cmd", variableArity = true)
public List<String> commands= new ArrayList<>();

MyApp -cmd cut reverse -anotherCmd

Thanks for your answer. I think I can use it but then I think I can't show the options with usage(). I have to do some further reading on Jcommander. – sensn Mar 07 '20 at 19:37
