You should have been a little bit more specific about what your problem
really is.
If you use
<arg value="value1 value2"/>
you are doing something you shouldn't. A value is just a value, not multiple
values. To pass a value with spaces in it Ant *must* surround that value
with quotes. If you wish to pass multiple values the preferred solution is
to use
<arg value="value1"/>
<arg value="value2"/>
and the less preferred solution would be
<arg line="value1 value2"/>
where Ant shouldn't supply quotes.
