I have a solution for you that works :)  Took me a little googling...but
this should do what you want...  Please note, the Bash shell script
below is entitled myscript.sh and "lives" next to the build.xml:

<project  default = "try">
     <target name="try">
         <exec executable="./myscript.sh" failonerror="true">
             <arg line="start &#8220;this is a test&#8221;"/>
         </exec>
     </target>
</project>


#!/bin/bash

echo "Command line params = [$*]"

echo " "
echo "Each param:"
for aParam in $*
do
     echo "    [$aParam]"
done


Here is the link where I found the numerics I used above:

I tried the &quot; as well...to no avail...  And yes \" didn't work
either...

However when I run the above Ant script in conjunction with the Bash
shell script, I get the following output:

Buildfile: build.xml

try:
      [exec] Command line params = [start "this is a test"]
      [exec]
      [exec] Each param:
      [exec]     [start]
      [exec]     ["this]
      [exec]     [is]
      [exec]     [a]
      [exec]     [test"]

Hope that helps :)
