That's not it, the quoting was fine. Even with a single argument with no
spaces to -Darguments it still does not work.
Did some more digging and it seems the issue is in the apache-10 parent pom.
If you alter it like so, the arguments are passed as expected:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<useReleaseProfile>false</useReleaseProfile>
<goals>deploy</goals>
<!--<arguments>-Papache-release</arguments>-->
<arguments>-Papache-release ${arguments}</arguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Seems this is just a mistake as the full config as reported via -X contains
quite a bit of <foo>${foo}</foo> style declarations. We likely just missed it
here.
Going to use a hacked parent pom for the moment but it would be great if we
could get an apache-11 pom out soonish.
