Finding the command from exec task

[Dan Vint <dv...@dvint.com>]

I have a situation where I'm using the exec task to run a program. The 
underlying program is sensitive to the use of double or single quotes. At 
the command line without Ant I can get two different results from the 
program I'm calling. When I put this call into Ant I get the result from 
having used the single quotes. So I ave tried an argument that looks like 
this:

argument="-a 'test'" and I have tried argument='-a "test"'

both are accepted by Ant, but I get the same result from the underlying 
program in both cases. It's liek the quotes are being normalized to some 
standard. What I would like to see is the actual command as it is executed 
with the program and its arguments.

There aren't any parameters to this task to capture that information, any 
idea how I might get this information?

Also,
remember that after this the command line arguments gets passed to java's
Process class and on WINDOWS the arguments get processed futher - especially
with regards to " and '.

try ant -debug, it should list the entire command line
