>             Project: Maven 1
>          Issue Type: Bug

>    Affects Versions: 1.0
>         Environment: Windows XP Professional SP 1

> The install_repo.bat script in version 1.0 builds up its argument word by 
> word and then puts double quotes around the value thereby built up wherever 
> it is used.  However, this implementation makes using the script kind of 
> weird.  On Windows I have to quote the command anyway if it contains spaces, 
> e.g.,
> "%MAVEN_HOME%\bin\install_repo.bat"
> and I would expect to have to quote its argument for similar reasons.  But as 
> it stands now, install_repo.bat _requires_ the following quoting syntax if 
> both MAVEN_HOME and HOME (or HOMEPATH) contain spaces:
> "%MAVEN_HOME%\bin\install_repo.bat" %HOME%\.maven\repository
> Note the inconsistency in quoting.
> The Windows batch language doesn't treat quotes the way most shells do; the 
> quotes are literally part of the string rather than just a meta-character 
> that signifies that contained whitespace is literal rather than a command or 
> argument separator.  The syntax %~1 can be used to produce a non-quoted and 
> fully-path-expanced version of whatever argument %1 was, at least in more 
> recent versions of Windows (2000, XP, 2003).  No guarantees that this feature 
> is present in Windows 9x....
