... or you use the value attribute instead of line - which I did in
my response.
[bodewig@bodewig tmp]$ cat quotes.xml
<project default="test">
<target name="test">
<exec executable="ls">
<arg value="-l" />
<arg value='"foo"' />
</exec>
</target>
<target name="test2">
<exec executable="ls">
<arg value="-l" />
<arg line='"foo"' />
</exec>
</target>
</project>
[bodewig@bodewig tmp]$ ant -f quotes.xml -verbose
test:
[exec] Current OS is Linux
[exec] Executing 'ls' with arguments:
[exec] '-l'
[exec] '"foo"'
[bodewig@bodewig tmp]$ ant -f quotes.xml -verbose test2
test2:
[exec] Current OS is Linux
[exec] Executing 'ls' with arguments:
[exec] '-l'
[exec] 'foo'
Don't use line, never use line, unless you realy need the magic that's
lurking inside.
