That's a problem with passing command line arguments into the recompile, and not
with recompile itself. Please note how this one works, correctly:

java -cp jakarta-regexp-1.3-dev.jar org.apache.regexp.recompile "test" "a
([^\"]*?) \" b ([^\"]*?)"

Output:
// Pre-compiled regular expression 'a ([^"]*?) " b ([^"]*?)'

But, as soon as your remove \" before b, the output changes to:
// Pre-compiled regular expression 'a ([^"]*?) b (["]*?)'

I'll mark it as WONTFIX as there is nothing to fix with recompile itself.
