exec:exec mojo does not correctly pass arguments with spaces
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEXEC-72
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-72
Project: Maven 2.x Exec Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: exec
Affects Versions: 1.1.2
Environment: Linux Ubuntu 32/64bit, Windows Vista
Reporter: Matteo Collina
Priority: Blocker
Attachments: spaces-issue.zip
The change introduced by bug
[MEXEC-25|http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-25] broke our build.
We are calling an ant task with a parameter with spaces (-Dmessage=hello world)
in a single <argument> tag which before this change went perfectly. With this
change the argument got splitted in two ("-Dmessage=hello" and "world").
Moreover the quoting doesn't work at all, i.e. it doesn't even work
<argument>"-Dmessage=hello world"</argument>.
Even the second solution would require us to change all our project poms, which
is quite annoying and disruptive.
I'm attaching a zip file containing two maven projects calling an ant target
with a parameter: old-version and new-version.
In the old-version project the exec mojo used is the stable one (1.1.1) and the
build (mvn compile) is successful, whereas in the new-version (1.2-SNAPSHOT)
the same build fails.
Obviously both these project requires ant to be in path.
