/**
 * Helper class for storing long command lines inside temporary file.
 * <p>
 * Typical usage:
 * 
 * <pre>
 *  builder = new CommandLineBuilder();
 *  builder.addArg(&quot;--someoption&quot;);
 *  builder.addArg(&quot;optionValue&quot;);
 *  ...
 *  builder.saveArgs();
 *  doSomething(builder.getCommandLineFile());
 *  builder.dispose();
 * </pre>
 * 
 * It will save options in <code>builder.getCommandLineFile()</code>. Options
 * will be stored one in a line. To retrieve options from file helper method can
 * be used (see documentation):
 * 
 * <pre>
 * String[] args = CommandLineBuilder.preprocessCommandLineArguments(args);
 * </pre>
 * 
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * NOTICE: No protection against line separators in arguments, should be OK for
 * Cobertura needs.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * NOTICE: This class depends on local machine settings (line separator, default
 * encoding). If arguments are saved on different machine than they are loaded,
 * results are unspecified. No problem in Cobertura.
 * </p>
