REPORT #223 Details.

Project: Ant
Category: Feature Requests
SubCategory: New Feature
Class: feature
State: received
Priority: low
Severity: non-critical
Confidence: public
Environment: 
   Release: 1.1
   JVM Release: 1.3.0beta_refresh
   Operating System: Linux-Mandrake
   OS Release: 7.1
   Platform: Intel SMP

Synopsis: 
Ability to represent arguments as a hierarchy of arglist/args

Description:
Currently the argument support for Ant is only as attributes of an element. The 
problem here is that it is impossible to specify an argument to the java task 
which contains a space. This is because the attribute value is tokenized on the 
space character. My proposal is to provide an alternative specification of this 
similar to the way PATH like values can be specified. For example:

<java ....>
  <arglist>
    <arg>Something with a space</arg>
     ...
  </arglist>
  <jvmarglist>
    <arg>-Djava.ext.dirs=/classes</arg>
  </jvmarglist>
</java>
