Thanks Mark for the suggestion. Unfortunately it still treats 'arg2' as a unknown lifecycle phase.
I also tried saving the value as a system variable first, then passing it into maven's command. This still fails with the unknown lifecycle phase issue: export zzz='arg1 arg2' mvn clean install -DmavenArgLine=$zzz I could export the value as a system variable first, then use it within a pom.xml instead of setting it in the command line, but I'm still curious why maven interprets this different in unix compared to windows. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Eggers [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2014 11:52 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Linux Command Line System Property Issue -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Phillip, Try single quotes.
