--- Comment #19 from [email protected] --- hi thanks for the update, further information A use case is wanting to be able to pass a property value as a string; e.g. a string containing an argument and value to be passed to a UNIX shell script: -Dsome.property="--arg value", in the past we could place ${some.property} in the invocation of that UNIX shell script, sometimes invoking it as above, or with -Dsome.property="--just-arg", or with -Dsome.property="--three-value-arg 1 2 3" But, now seems that Ant ignores our desire to treat a property value as a string; the ability to separate the semantics of what we pass in versus how Ant handles that in between the command line and what we ask Ant to invoke for us. Does Ant support passing a string as a property value? Do you have any suggestion how we have to write this command line in order to follow the new guideline? thanks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
