The names of the tools differ in tools/PDFBox.java and the classes of the individual tools.
This leads to misleading messages like the following:
java -jar pdfbox-app-4.0.0-trunk-SNAPSHOT.jar export:text
Missing required option: '--input='
Extracts the text from a PDF document
Usage: pdfbox extracttext [-hV] [-addFileName] [-alwaysNext] [-append]
The patch consolidates the names.
