Linux Command Line System Property Issue

[Gribnau, Phillip]

Hi Everyone,

I am having trouble passing in a value via the command line on bash in linux, 
but I have it working correctly on windows.

On the command line, if I pass in the following:
-DmavenArgLine="arg1 arg2"

The error on linux is: Unknown lifecycle phase "arg2"
Windows is able to interpret this correctly and show "arg1 arg2" in the output, 
verified by using the following plugin:

<plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.7</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>generate-sources</phase>
            <configuration>
              <tasks>
                <echo>${mavenArgLine}</echo>
              </tasks>
            </configuration>
            <goals>
              <goal>run</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>


My need is that the value of mavenArgLine has to be given from the command line 
as the value can differ from different environments. Is there a way to pass in 
the value of mavenArgLine in linux with spaces?


Thanks,
Phillip
