I apologize in advance for any animosity this post may generate.
This is a subject that has come up time and time again on a number of
mailing lists, and frankly it's getting annoying. First, Maven is not a
Unix tool, not did it grow up in the "Unix World". It is a Java tool, and
has been since day one (as is its predecessor, Ant). This means that it
will be run on a number of different operating systems, not just UNIX.
What does this mean for processing files and paths?
1) Files can have spaces in the filename
2) The file seperation character depends on the underlying operating system
3) The path seperation character depends on the underlying operating system
I would consider any code which fails to take into consideration these
simple truths as defective. Forcing Windows users to mangle their
filenames in order to satisfy UNIX-centric assumptions is not the answer.
Fixing the code is.
Thank you,
Ian

Have you tried the age old trick of changing long filenames to their
short counterparts? C:\Program Files is usually also accessable by
using C:\progra~1, which avoids the space character problem you appear
to be having.
Seeing as maven grew up in the Unix world, you may also want to try
escaping the spaces (\ ) or using forward slashes instead of back
slashes for the directories.
