Heinrich Nirschl commented on MNG-2190: --------------------------------------- The approach taken in maven 2.0.7 still does not work as this example shows (with bash on Linux): $ mvn help:effective-settings -Dfoo="ba\" bu" [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'help'. [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Invalid task 'bu': you must specify a valid lifecycle phase, or a goal in the format plugin:goal or pluginGroupId:pluginArtifactId:pluginVersion:goal [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: < 1 second [INFO] Finished at: Sun Sep 23 08:47:21 CEST 2007 [INFO] Final Memory: 1M/66M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think it's the responsibility of the shell wrapper to correctly pass the parameters to the java process. Workarounds in Java are just a mess. > -Dkey=value parameters cannot include spaces in the value > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2190 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2190 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Command Line > Affects Versions: 2.0.2 > Environment: Darwin > Reporter: Gordon Henriksen > Assignee: Brett Porter > Fix For: 2.0.x > > Attachments: MNG-2190.patch > > > Even if I properly escape spaces in a path at the shell level, Maven seems to > re-split the command parameters.
