While I haven't had the chance to play around with Haxe yet, I do
understand what it is Nicolas is going for when creating this

language for both the client-side development (in your case Flash) as
well as the server-side.
Erixtekila is right. you need to escape those spaces.
A quick way to get your paths written correctly is to open up the
directory that you are targeting in the Finder, then open Terminal.
Next drag the folder in the Finder into the Terminal window and you
will see how the path should be written
:
/Users/username/Documents/workspace/locmtasc.sh

The thing is that Eclipse adds quotes around the Macromedia Class Path,
