Greg Hengeli commented on MCOMPILER-30: --------------------------------------- I too am encountering this error. As (what I consider) a temporary solution, you can declare the dependency on plexus-utils to be version 1.5.1 in the plugin. My question is why isn't this version of the dependency declared in the maven-compiler-plugin's pom?! Is there another solution I am missing? <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0.2</version> <configuration> <source>1.5</source> <target>1.5</target> <fork>true</fork> <executable>${JAVA5_HOME}/bin/javac</executable> <compilerVersion>1.5</compilerVersion> </configuration> <dependencies> <!-- required to allow spaces in the executable path --> <dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId> <artifactId>plexus-utils</artifactId> <version>1.5.1</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> > Compiler fork executable fails when the path has spaces > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCOMPILER-30 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-30 > Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Reporter: Carlos Sanchez > Assignee: Carlos Sanchez > Fix For: 2.0.2 > > > JAVA_1_3_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.3.1_18 > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> > <configuration> > <fork>true</fork> > <compilerVersion>1.3</compilerVersion> > <executable>${JAVA_1_3_HOME}/bin/javac</executable> > </configuration> > </plugin> > Fails with > Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error: > 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, > operable program or batch file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
