The ant manual, of all things, says the following:
It is highly recommended to avoid the line version when possible. Ant
will try to split the command
line in a way similar to what a (Unix) shell would do, but may
create something that is v
different from what you expect under some circumstances.
Examples
<arg value="-l -a"/>
is a single command-line argument containing a space character, not
separate commands "-l" and "-a".
<arg line="-l -a"/>
This is a command line with two separate arguments, "-l" and "-a".
Using a separate <arg value... for each argument makes the space issue to
away. See the 'exec' task and look for the link to command line arguements.
