Yes I tried in double and single quotes. The effect is that theses quotes are passed as part of command line arguments to launched class so without modification of launched class to strip off theses quotes it still does not work. I think it is a common case that applications have parameters starting with "-" and not expecting quotes in values of command line arguments. It looks to be a bug in Ivy. So far I have no work around to it.
