It could fit on a second line, the java launcher usage output does this. 
I see jarsigner already uses multiple lines so it shouldn't be an issue.

In general then I think we have a lot of inconsistencies in our command 
line tools. This goes for option names (more so with the new tools where 
we've started to use GNU style), whether no args prints usage or not, 
and of course the usage output itself.  I personally find it annoying 
when usage output wraps (which of course depends on fonts and terminal 
width).

Thank, I realize this is old code.
