Arnaud Heritier updated MAVEN-1466:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version: (was: 1.1-beta-3)
> install_repo.bat can require inconsistent quoting on the command line
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAVEN-1466
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1466
> Project: Maven
> Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Versions: 1.0
> Environment: Windows XP Professional SP 1
> Reporter: Albert Davidson Chou
> Priority: Minor
>
> Original Estimate: 1 hour
> Remaining: 1 hour
>
> The install_repo.bat script in version 1.0 builds up its argument word by
> word and then puts double quotes around the value thereby built up wherever
> it is used. However, this implementation makes using the script kind of
> weird. On Windows I have to quote the command anyway if it contains spaces,
> e.g.,
> "%MAVEN_HOME%\bin\install_repo.bat"
> and I would expect to have to quote its argument for similar reasons. But as
> it stands now, install_repo.bat _requires_ the following quoting syntax if
> both MAVEN_HOME and HOME (or HOMEPATH) contain spaces:
> "%MAVEN_HOME%\bin\install_repo.bat" %HOME%\.maven\repository
> Note the inconsistency in quoting.
> The Windows batch language doesn't treat quotes the way most shells do; the
> quotes are literally part of the string rather than just a meta-character
> that signifies that contained whitespace is literal rather than a command or
> argument separator. The syntax %~1 can be used to produce a non-quoted and
> fully-path-expanced version of whatever argument %1 was, at least in more
> recent versions of Windows (2000, XP, 2003). No guarantees that this feature
> is present in Windows 9x....
