Michael Osipov commented on MNG-4559:
-------------------------------------
There are numerous threads on SO how to properly escape special chars in env
vars especially passing them again in a variable to a process. I had the same
problem with {{CATALINA_OPTS}} and gave up. It was too confusing to make it
readable.
> MAVEN_OPTS are incorrectly resolved in Unix

> Affects Versions: 2.2.1, 3.0.5
> Environment: OS: Linux, 2.6.32-11-generic, amd64.
> Java: 1.6.0_17
> Also Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.9.2 running on x86_64

> Reporter: Maxim Podkolzine

> I'm trying to pass a quoted parameter through MAVEN_OPTS, e.g.
> MAVEN_OPTS="-Dfoo='bar baz'"
> As a result the quotes are not resolved, causing Java failure:
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: baz'
> ...
> I couldn't figure out a way to make it work.
