Description

Shouldn't this display help (similar to that in the README)?

$ java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar --help
Exception in thread "main" io.airlift.airline.ParseArgumentsUnexpectedException: Found unexpected parameters: [--help]
    at io.airlift.airline.Cli.validate(Cli.java:148)
    at io.airlift.airline.Cli.parse(Cli.java:116)

Research direction

Start with the command shown in the issue and the entry point at SwaggerCodegen.java:35; compare its behavior with the CLI usage in the README. Confirm what happens for --help and other unknown arguments. Done means an unknown command-line argument displays help instead of throwing the shown ParseArgumentsUnexpectedException.
