Per Hedman commented on MCOMPILER-130:
--------------------------------------

It's seems like the compiler gets the whole string "-Xmaxerrs 1000" as an 
argument, and not the working version with the argument and value pair of 
"-Xmaxerrs" "1000". 

In the AbstractCompilerMojo there is a line about creating the creation of the 
commandLine:

String[] cl = compiler.createCommandLine( compilerConfiguration );

And then loops through the String Array, but when setting the 
"<compilerArgument>-Xmaxerrs 1000</compilerArgument>" the inner content is 
considered a single argument, and separation between arguments and values are a 
single space " ". I think that it's escaping the spaces within the 
compilerArgument. I have tried "<compilerArgument>-verbose 
-help</compilerArgument>" and that gives the same result. 

This is tested on Mac OS X.

>             Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>         Environment: Mac OS X
>            Reporter: Mike Dikan
>
> I looked into using this configuration for maven:
> <plugin>
>   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>   <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
>   <configuration>
>     <compilerArgument>-Xmaxerrs 1000</compilerArgument>
>   </configuration>
> </plugin>
> But no dice:
> Failure executing javac,  but could not parse the error:
> javac: invalid flag: -Xmaxerrs 1000
> Usage: javac <options> <source files>
> use -help for a list of possible options
> On the command line using javac, the maxerrs flag works as expected, and 
> using the compilerArguments "Map" option works:
> <plugin>
>   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>   <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
>   <configuration>
>     <fork>true</fork>
>     <compilerArguments>
>       <Xmaxerrs>10</Xmaxerrs>
>     </compilerArguments>
>   </configuration>
> </plugin>
