idlj parameter invalid argument -td mac?

Im trying to follow a tutorial to do a CORBA assignment.

project
-Client/HelloClient.java
-Server/HelloServer.java
-Hello.idl

I do the first step, trying to compile the IDL (from the project root), and it fails.

$ idlj –td Client –fclient Hello.idl 

com.sun.tools.corba.se.idl.InvalidArgument: Invalid argument:  –td.

java version "1.8.0_11"

$ ls -l
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  3 juliusskye  staff  102 Oct 28 20:14 Client
-rw-r-----@ 1 juliusskye  staff   85 Oct 28 17:49 Hello.idl
drwxr-xr-x  3 juliusskye  staff  102 Oct 28 17:52 Server

drwxr-xr-x  2 juliusskye  staff   68 Oct 29 13:45 src

I found this which says CORBA has problems parsing paths with / in front. But mine doesn't have a /

apparently the Lecturer's instructions were wrong or outdated or the compiler is not fully working but compilation of all files is achieved by 

idlj -fall hello.idl
