Hi Alan, Javadoc combines documentation and support of a flag in the way the flag handling is implemented. On the other side, it prints the help message anyways if a wrong flag is presented to it, so if you call it with -help you get the help message. Therefore, in my original change where I tried to get it more cleaned up, I removed -help support and documentation from Javadoc. I added it again and updated the table in the CSR: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr17/8189102-helpMessage/webrev.06/ Best regards, Goetz.

Hi,
... missed some lists in my first post ...
I prepared a fifth webrev for this change. Please review.
It incorporates the changes requested by the CSR reviewers (not to remove docuemtation of '-help' where is was documented before) and the changes proposed by Kumar: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr17/8189102- helpMessage/webrev.05/
Looks like it still drops -help from the javadoc usage message, I can't tell if you meant to do that.
