@arenn would it be ok for you, if the license would be updated to the LGPLv3, at least for the changes that I've made and those that I will make in my fork of your repository.

i have added the .jar file to my library, but i cant figure out how to import it to my class

I like how the Java docs include an example of how to use getopt, it's incredibly helpful in understanding how to apply getopt to my projects. Could we add an example snippet for getoptlong as well?

I'm trying to create an OSGi bundle from my source code that uses this library. And it fails with this message

[ERROR] Bundle group:artifact:bundle:1.0.0.alpha01-SNAPSHOT : Class in different directory than declared. Path from class name is GetoptDemo.class but the path in the jar is gnu/getopt/GetoptDemo.class from 'Jar:java-getopt-1.0.9.jar'
[ERROR] Error(s) found in bundle configuration

It looks like this is caused by the GetoptDemo class not declaring a package that matches how the class is packaged in the JAR file

Considering the fact that your great API is supposed to be used in a lot of different contexts like web service (Tomcat, Jetty, ...) as well as applications/other APIs it is very annoying to have calls to System.err.println which

1. may be do not produce any output (web service)
2. may pollute the user program/other API using GnuGetopt

In my case I have replaced all calls to System.err.println to throw new IllegalArgumentException which leaves it to the user/programmer to decide what he wants to do with the Exception
